August 23: The government has agreed to allow not more than 500 flights a day starting from September 1.

The Council of Ministers has assigned the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation to regulate flights amid risk of coronavirus pandemic.

The cabinet has agreed to allow regular as well as chartered flights not exceeding 500 flights a day. However, international flights have been approved only for the countries where PCR tests are available.

Nepali citizens stranded in Malaysia, the UAE (Dubai), South Korea, Thailand, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Australia, the USA, Canada and European countries will be allowed to return home through regular commercial flights once the restriction on air service comes to an end.

However, people from countries where PRC tests are not available will have to return home through chartered flights under strict regulation.

Government Spokesperson Dr Yuba Raj Khatiwada informed that the government will arrange chartered flights for the destinations where PCR tests are not available while the stranded Nepalis can return home upon the recommendation of the diplomatic missions of Nepal in the respective places.

Those travelling to Nepal through regular flights will have to produce certificate of negative test for Covid-19. They will also have to fill up an online form available at the website of the Covid-19 Crisis Management  Centre (CCMC) and print the barcode. Another precondition for the people coming to Nepal is that they will have to stay in hotel quarantine for seven days, for which they will have to show the hotel booking to the airport authorities.

Afterwards, they will have to sign a written commitment to stay in home quarantine for 14 days. The local units will be responsible to monitor this.

The travellers will have to pay the bill for booking hotel at the time of purchasing the air ticket. Only after fulfilling all the criteria, the passengers will be allowed to enter the country.
