It is often claimed that Pokhara and Bhairahawa airports were constructed solely for political gain and are intended only for domestic use. However, it is worth noting that these airports also serve some international flights, albeit on a limited scale. The main airport in Kathmandu faces several challenges, and there is no viable alternative at present. However, the proposed airport in Nijgadh has the potential to become a central hub in Asia, with lower import costs than those associated with sea transport.
CORRECT!!!!! aviation point of view le herda ktm-pkr-lumbini is a just few minutes . We should have had an airport in the far west and far east . Surkhet ma DPR pani vathyo tara the netas did it in pkr and lumbini . why? Eveyone knows it 🙃🙃

@@babbintandukar9959 bro the airport will run by Zurich company maybe for 25yrs for that time period we don't have to pay a single penny for airport. Gov job is to just take taxes money. More than 80% people coming to Nepal will use NIA coz PIA has small runway and topography is same like ktm surrounded by big mountain and GBIA is very far from capital so more than 80% people will use NIA. Bro it think you misunderstood Air Traffic it is like traffic jam in roads where lots of vehicle runs but roads is very small.

Really valuable insights from you sir. It's totally nonsense from whoever draw this plan that 4 international airport will be within 200 square kilometres. It's better to utilise all those resources for building another infrastructure than to build airport which we actually don't need.

As an Indian Nepali, firstly Nepal need to self sustain.The younger generation should focus on studies not just going to foreign countries for doing work.The government should provide the people with quality education in Technical field such as Indian IIT, AIIMS. A country doesn’t develop in 10 or 20 years,The present generation have to sow the seed for the future generation. In India we never think of going to foreign country, The people of India who are going to developed countries are mainly going through H1B VISA which is highly competitive.So, Nepal need highly skilled people.

If Qatar had such specialist he might have said, “why do we need international airport in such a small country. we can use UAE’s airport”.
First of all, Nepal is a Landlocked country depending on india and china. If this airport will be sucessfull in future it will be very helpful to import and export without relying on India and china. Its also gonna be a worlds 4 largest airport which gonna be very useful coz everyone might need to take transit in nijhgadh airport while flying to southasia .This is the great step should be taken as soon as possible to become a developed country in future.This man is talking without vision why why 4 international airport. useless person.
