KATHMANDU, Sept 8 (Xinhua): The Nepali government is preparing to slash landing, parking and ground handling fees at Tribhuvan International Airport, the only international airport in the country based in Kathmandu, by 25 per cent for a year for new airlines coming to Nepal, to attract more international carriers, local media reported today.
According to a leading website, eKantipur.com report, the move is also in response to growing complaints by foreign airlines over high charges at the airport compared to other regional airports, said an official at the ministry of culture, tourism and civil aviation.
"If new international airlines come to Nepal, they will enjoy the facility for a period of one year of operation," he added.
