I was reading about Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and found one airline Arkefly has a direct flight to Amsterdam. I was just wondering if they still have that flight coz I never heard any body flying directly to Nepal from Europe. I would love to fly that route with out stopping any where in Asia.
we can promote this route and can escape India route.What do you guys think?
P.S i m not related to any airlines or anything.i was killing my time reading about TIA and found this so thought to share in sajha.

I was browsing Arkefly website but its on a foreign language (i guess its Dutch). They have 5 flights in a year in 2010 to KTM: Maart (must be march),april,oktober,november and december.
 One interesting thing is they have just one flight to south asia: just to ktm. 
According to website, the fare for 2 way is € 532.

One of my friend from Sweden went Nepal via this airline and said it was very convenient to take direct flight and for good price.

London to Kathmandu should be a route which should be looked upon more since theres a growing Nepali population in the UK now and its common to spot a Nepali everynight at an airport usually flying with Air India, Jet Airways and other Middle East airlines.

I heard that Arkefly is a Budget airline so quality may have to be compromised, aside from that they should promote it with good value package tours to Nepal. It should be good.

Arkefly, the airline based in Haarlemmermeer in the Netherlands, has announced that it will operate non-stop flights from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, from October 7, 2009.

The Amsterdam-Kathmandu service – to be operated once a week initially – will provide air connectivity between Europe and Nepal after a break of 5 years.

The first Arkefly flight, using a Boeing 737aircraft, is scheduled to land at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu at 2.30 p.m. on October 7, 2009.

According to Nepal’s Ministry of Tourism of Civil Aviation, Arkefly will put in place the regular flight frequency after assessing the commercial viability of the Amsterdam-Kathmandu service.

There has been no direct flight between Europe and Nepal after Nepal Airlines, the state-owned national flag-carrier of Nepal, suspended its services to the European cities of London, Frankfurt and Moscow 5 years ago. Other Europe-based airlines like Austrian Airlines, too, stopped flying directly to Kathmandu in the same period.

In a statement, Arkefly said it decided to operate direct flights from the Netherlands to Nepal in accordance with the Air Service Agreement (ASA) signed between the European Union (EU) and Nepal and about 10 years ago.

Qatar Airways, the flag-carrier airline of Qatar, will be allowed to raise the number of its flights to Nepal 28 each week as per an agreement signed between Qatar and Nepal in September 2009.

The new Amsterdam-Kathmandu service is expected to give a fillip to Destination Nepal Year-2011, according to Nepal’s Ministry of Tourism of Civil Aviation.

As a part of the Destination Nepal Year-2011, China Eastern Airlines, based in Shanghai in China, has also been operating 3 flights a week between Quinmin in China and Kathmandu since September 20, 2009.
