Pokhara,Nepal: Pokhara International Airport welcomed a Sichuan Airlines flight from Chengdu on Thursday, carrying 126 passengers. This chartered flight brought a Chinese delegation to participate in the upcoming second international Dragon Boat Race, scheduled for December 29-30,2024 , on Fewa Lake. The event is organized by the Pokhara Metropolitan City, the Chinese Embassy, and the Dragon Boat Association.

This marks Sichuan Airlines' third chartered flight to Pokhara since the airport's inauguration two years ago. Despite the excitement surrounding these flights, regular international operations have yet to commence at the airport.
