Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC), the flag carrier of the country, has halted Kathmandu-Faplu flights since September 29 affecting passengers and the transport of letters. 

Letters weighing 42 kilograms at the District Post Office have been stuck as a result, said the NAC office chief Sita Duwadi. Staff crunch is blamed for NAC's failure to operate the Kathmandu-Faplu flights. 

The NAC had been operating Kathmandu-Faplu flights twice a week (Sunday and Tuesday). However, private airlines have also been operating flights on the route. Summit Air conducts regular Kathmandu-Faplu flights on Sunday and Tuesday and Tara Air on Monday and Wednesday. 

However, NAC has been operating flights between Kathmandu, Taplejung, Bhojpur and Khotang with its two aircrafts, said the NAC.
