Adverse weather affected the flights at Tribhuvan International Airport on Wednesday.
According to TIA's General Manager Jagannath Niraula, adverse weather and subsequent low visibility issues have affected both domestic and international flights.
Niraula said that flights to Pokhara have been canceled and those to Janakpur and Simara have been delayed.
Towards international service, a flight by Air China has been diverted back. It was scheduled to land at TIA at 10:55 am today. Some international flights were made to be on hold.
Buddha Air's information officer Dipendra Kumar Karna confirmed the cancellation of the Kathmandu-Pokhara flight while the flight towards Bharatpur Airport was delayed.
The Buddha's air flight to Surkhet this morning was diverted to Pokhara owing to the adverse weather that generally affected the domestic services at TIA on Tuesday.
At present, the country is under the influence of monsoon wind.
According to the Meteorological Forecasting Division, the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, presently the monsoon trough is positioned slightly northward, triggering partial to general rainfall across the country.

Heavy rain has been forecast at one or two places of the Koshi, Gandaki, Lumbini, Karnali and Sudurpashim Provinces.
