May 2: The Pokhara Regional International Airport, which had been temporarily closed due to low visibility over the past few days, has resumed its services as of Thursday morning. Buddha Air's Information Officer Dipendra Kumar Karna confirmed that the airport reopened following improved visibility conditions.

Air services at the airport had been irregular for the past four days, with flight operations completely halted for two days and partially operated for the remaining two days. Low visibility in the area, exacerbated by incidents of forest fires nearby and the presence of haze, led to the disruptions of flights.

However, with weather conditions improving as of Thursday morning, air services have been restored. Passengers who had purchased flight tickets during the closure period opted to travel by road instead. -- RSS
