In 2019, Buddha Air operated three weekly flights on the route for nine months but discontinued the service as it had to incur a huge loss. This time, the company plans to operate four weekly flights – the same frequency previously maintained by Air India.
The airline operates regular commercial flights to Varanasi and aims to expand to Guwahati, Lucknow, and other Indian destinations. The Kathmandu-Kolkata flight takes 1 hour and 25 minutes.
