According to NAC’s Executive Chairman Yubraj Adhikari, the Civil Aviation Office, General Authority of Civil Aviation of Saudi Arabia, has provided approval to make two-way flights to three cities of Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah of Saudi Arabia. Earlier, Executive Chairman Adhikari and other officials had visited Saudi Arabia for the process to receive approval. The NAC said it plans to operate three flights a week from Kathmandu-Riyadh-Kathmandu from next month in the first phase.
