Domestic flights have been affected due to adverse weather. Flights to Pokhara, Bharatpur, Tumlingtar among the destinations were hampered due to poor visibility, the Tribhuvan International Airport Office said. TIA Office spokesperson Teknath Sitaula said flights have been completely affected in three domestic destinations including Pokhara.

Flights to Simara opened some minutes back. The flights to Pokhara, Bharatpur and Tumlingtar have not opened yet.

Although flights could not be conducted to three destinations until now, they were operated to some destinations with the clearing up of the weather. The TIA Office said 115 flights have been scheduled towards the domestic sector today. The flights have been affected due to the increased air pollution at various places of the country including in Kathmandu for the past three days. Air flights to Pokhara were affected on Friday and Saturday as well. Sitaula said although the flights towards the international sector were generally affected in the morning, they are taking place regularly now. An aircraft of the Qatar Airways had to hold for about two hours as it made a mis-approach.
