Flydubai extends booking period for Pokhara flights

KATHMANDU: Tourism entrepreneurs in Pokhara are expressing confidence in the sustainability of the direct air service between Pokhara and Dubai following the decision by flydubai to extend its booking period. The airline, which launched the service on Sept. 23, has now opened ticket bookings until Oct. 30, 2027.

Pomanarayan Shrestha, operator of Fly Namaste Travels, noted that the extension reflects the positive response received since the service began. While the current volume of passengers arriving from Dubai is higher due to the festive season, officials anticipate an increase in outbound traffic from Pokhara once the holidays conclude.
