Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairahawa is witnessing increased international flight activity on Saturday. Three airlines, Jazeera Airways, Fly Dubai, and Nepal Airlines, are operating flights to and from the airport.

- Nepal Airlines:

Passenger Traffic:
While Jazeera Airways is experiencing good passenger turnout due to its previous flight operations, other airlines are facing lower occupancy rates. This is attributed to the early flight timings, which are unfamiliar to many travelers.
Thai AirAsia Operations:
On Friday, Thai AirAsia operated a flight from Bangkok to Bhairahawa, carrying 7 passengers. The return flight to Bangkok departed with 32 passengers. The airline is currently operating flights to Bangkok twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
