Muscat: Oman Air has added Kathmandu to its list of destinations. The airline has deployed its Boeing 737-800 aircraft four times a week to the Nepalese capital.

"I am delighted to announce the launch of Oman Air’s maiden flight between Muscat and Kathmandu. We want to promote Kathmandu as a major tourism destination like Muscat," said Philippe Georgiou, Chief Officer, Corporate Affairs.

"Undoubtedly, the new operation would give a whole new boost to the tourism industry, and the upcoming Nepal Tourism Year 2011 national campaign," he said.
