“In 2004, the reason for the termination of Aeroflot flights was mainly economic, because it was unprofitable to fly to Kathmandu, since there were fewer flights.

But the situation has completely changed,” he said.

According to him, after the post-pandemic period, international tourism is “gaining momentum” again.

“We will receive guests from Russia, and there will be more tourists from the Nepalese side to Russia.

Therefore, I ask Aeroflot to work on resuming flights to Kathmandu,” he concluded.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, after meeting with Indonesian President Joko Widodo, said that the countries are discussing the possibility of resuming direct communication between Moscow and the island of Bali.
