Buddha Air has decided to add additional flights to Bhadrapur, Biratnagar, Nepalgunj and Dhangadhi from 14 of March after the introduction of additional ATR 72-500 aircraft to its fleet.

With the arrival of ATR-72-500 aircraft last month, Buddha now owns nine aircraft which include two Beechcraft 1900 D, three ATR 42-320s, and four ATR 72-500s. The airline is also planning to increase the number of lower fare tickets in coming future.

Authorities had reported that the addition of new 72-500 aircraft is aimed to handle the increasing air traffic movement for the airlines.

We were also informed that the congested airports and poor weather conditions have been resulting in a delay of flights for the airlines. A spokesperson reported; with the addition of new ATR-72 aircraft, the airline plans to reduce such delays.

Authority from the airlines reported that most of the additional flight has been added to the trunk routes analyzing the passengerโ€™s demand.

The low noise producing aircraft also has seventy-two ergonomic seat configuration with a spacious cabin, to comfort the passengers.A source had added that ATR-72 is an environmentally friendly aircraft and consumes less fuel in comparison to other aircraft.

Currently, sixty-one percent of the domestic passengers fly with Buddha making it the pioneer of the domestic sky in Nepal.

The airline also plans to conduct a regular flight to Janakpur with its ATR-72 aircraft after the completion of the extension works at the airport.
