Dubai: FlyYeti.com, Nepal's first low-cost carrier in which Sharjah's Air Arabia is a partner, on Wednesday launched a direct service between Kathmandu and Doha.
The airline, which will provide service between the two cities five times per week, recently also commenced services to Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur.
"Following the introduction of service to Abu Dhabi last month, Doha is our third destination in the GCC, demonstrating the importance we place on this dynamic region. Qatar is witnessing considerable sustained economic growth and represents an important air travel hub for the Middle East," Adel Ali, board member and chief executive officer of Air Arabia and Yeti Airlines International, said.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, flights will depart Kathmandu at 7.45am and arrive in Doha at 9.50am. On the same days, flights will depart Doha at 10.35am and arrive in Kathmandu at 5.50pm.
"FlyYeti.com will offer the most value for money air travel possible to the significant population of Nepalese expatriates living in this country, as well as give the residents of Qatar, affordable access to Nepal as a holiday destination," Ali said.
FlyYeti.com, launched in January, is a joint venture between Air Arabia and Yeti Airlines. The carrier was created with the aim of providing air travel to a broad range of destinations across South, Central and East Asia, and the Middle East.
