Nepal Airlines to launch Guangzhou flights after 15-year wait

The state-owned carrier begins direct services to China next week, its first since diplomatic ties were established in 1955.

Nepal’s national flag carrier, Nepal Airlines, will begin flights to Guangzhou, one of China’s three largest cities and a bustling business hub in the heart of Asia, from next week—marking a milestone more than a decade and a half after it first applied for landing permits.
