Kuala Lumpur With Himalaya Airlines

Himalaya Airlines restarts its twice-weekly flight service to Kuala Lumpur starting December 9, Monday

Himalaya Airlines, a Nepal-China joint venture international airline, resumed its much awaited flight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from December 9, 2019. The airlines first operated to Kuala Lumpur from February 10, 2017, but suspended the operation from November 2018 due to discontinuation of labour visa permit to Malaysia. As the airlines re-connects the sector before the onset of VNY 2020, it aims at promoting and capturing the outbound tourism potential of the region into Nepal. With the new flights, they believe to serve the passengers better and to boost the connectivity of Nepal among the Asia Pacific Region. Attracting numerous tourists towards the city every year, Kuala Lumpur is one of the most preferred holiday destinations among Nepalese outbound travellers.

The resumption flight H9 890 departed from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) at 9:35 pm (local time) on December 9, 2019 and touched down at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 4:18 am (local time) on December 10, 2019, carrying a total of 150 passengers. The return flight H9 891 departed from KLIA at 5:21 am (local time) the same day carrying a total of 82 passengers and touched down at TIA at 7:46 am (local time).

“We are excited to re-launch the direct flights between Kuala Lumpur and Kathmandu. We hope this resumption will boost the significant commercial opportunity that exists for travellers in both the nations enhancing trade, manpower and tourism. There is a strong demand from both the markets on the route and with the revised MOU between two Governments; the passenger traffic is bound to increase. This connectivity is expected not only to cater to a large number of Nepalese working in Malaysia, but also to increase the inflow of leisure travellers. We hope to showcase the ever-so-renowned Nepalese hospitality to all our valued passengers. This resumed operation is yet another effort in line with H9’s strong commitment towards contributing for VNY 2020’s international arrival targets.”, said Vijay Shrestha, Vice President of Himalaya Airlines.
