Buddha, Yeti, others suspend flights owing to bad weather condition

KATHMANDU, OCTOBER 20

Around 100 flights scheduled for operation to and from the capital have been suspended today owing to conditions generated by bad weather.

According to the domestic airport officials, this is the highest number of flight suspensions recorded in a single day in recent times as air carriers could not operate services to various hilly as well as plain areas since incessant rains and overcast weather have led to air-travel adverse conditions.
