Kathmandu: Operating hours at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) will be extended by two hours starting next month, following a month and a half of limited 14-hour operations.

Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) announced that the airport, which has been closed from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am since November 8 for taxiway expansion, will now operate for 16 hours a day due to the rapid progress of construction work.

Director General of CAAN, Pradeep Adhikari, confirmed that the extended hours will take effect next month, improving overall flight operations and airport capacity.
