Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has requested additional air entry routes to Nepal through Mahendranagar, Nepalgunj, and Janakpur.

Deuba made such a request in the bilateral talks with his Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“I also requested for the concurrence of near border flight operations to smoothly operationalize the Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairahawa,” Deuba told the media after meeting with Modi. 

For a long time, Nepal is requesting air routes but India has not agreed on it.
