India and Nepal have agreed on a new flight routing that shaves off 15 minutes from the Kathmandu-Delhi flight by taking a shortcut flying over Nepalganj. The present route takes a circuitous airway over Bhairawa and Lucknow. Indian civil aviation authorities have sanctioned the route for airlines from India, Nepal and west-bound flights by international airlines from Kathmandu. ?The new route will go into effect after Nepal and India sign a Letter of Agreement to this effect,? Rajesh Raj Dali, deputy director general at the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), told us. Will that bring down air fares is what we want to know.
