Kathmandu, May 28:

The fourth Fokker-100 of Cosmic Air landed at Tribhuvan International Airport on Friday, which now makes the fleet seven aircrafts strong. With an addition of the fourth Fokker-100, Cosmic Air is set to expand its wings to new destinations such as Kolkata and Varanasi in India and in the near future, Yangon in Myanmar. According to a press release issued here today, the airline plans to operate by the end of June to Kolkata three times a week on Monday, Friday and Saturday, while Varanasi will be served three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Cosmic Air at present holds 50 per cent market share in the country, which the airline has attributed to affordable fares both in domestic and international sectors. Cosmic Air is also awaiting the approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal for its planned service to Bhadrapur, using the Fokker jet aircraft, adds the release. Owing to popular demand, the airline is re-introducing its Frequent Flyer programme Fre-Flyer, whereby its passengers in both sectors will be awarded points that can be converted to free

tickets from all destinations operated by Cosmic Air. In addition to this, frequent fliers can avail services and discounts in leading business houses and stores associated with the airlines.
