Adverse weather disrupts flight schedule at TIA
KATHMANDU: Adverse weather caused by rain disrupted today's flight schedule at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu.
Low visibility affected not only Tribhuvan International Airport but also several other airports across the country. According to airport spokesperson Rinji Sherpa, both domestic and international flight operations were affected and could not proceed as scheduled.
Several flights, including international services, had to be diverted due to en-route weather disturbances this morning. An Air Jazeera flight was diverted to Varanasi, India, while Buddha Air’s scheduled mountain flight was also rerouted.
Additionally, three flights operated by Summit Air and Tara Air, which were scheduled to fly to Lukla from Ramechhap, had to be redirected. A flight on the Kathmandu–Thamkharka route was also diverted due to adverse weather conditions.
The Kathmandu Valley experienced light rainfall in the early morning. The situation has now returned to normal following the cessation of rainfall.
At present, Nepal’s weather pattern is being influenced by a combination of westerly and local winds, along with moisture-laden air from the Bay of Bengal, which is contributing to unstable weather conditions, according to the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology.
