November 12: Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC), the national flag carrier of Nepal, has made it possible for travelers to fly to Europe, Australia and different Asian cities using its ticket.    
The NAC made this arrangement after reaching bilateral agreements with international airline companies. As per agreements, various cities of Europe, Sydney of Australia, Seoul of South Korea, as well as Kuwait and Bahrain can be reached by purchasing an NAC ticket.    
NAC Spokesperson Karishma Shrestha shared that the scheme would ease the flight service. It also helps cut the transit time, she added. Nepal Airlines is expecting to earn credit in the international market with this new ticketing scheme. The ticket can be bought from the central office of the NAC or via the travel agencies.    
Spokesperson Shrestha further mentioned that NAC was coordinating with various airlines companies of the Unites States for similar arrangement in US cities.

It may be noted that the European Commission has banned Nepali airline companies from flying in the skies of the 27-nation bloc due to poor safety standards of the Nepali companies, including the state-owned NAC. (With inputs from RSS)
