Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) is going to be closed for a short time, probably a few days for important construction and maintenance work next year. They’re making the airport better by building a new terminal, more parking areas, and improving the runways. This will help make flying safer and more comfortable for everyone according to the authority.

Before the airport closes, they’re co-ordinating with airlines to plan the closure and make sure it goes smoothly. They’re also getting permission from the government to accomplish the work. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) is planning to work together with the concerned authorities to keep everything organized and safe.

While the airport is closed, the passengers might need to use other international airports like Gautam Buddha International Airport or Pokhara International Airport as alternate. This is to make sure flights can still go in and out of Nepal without any problems. However, airline and passengers might face inconvenience due to the procedures.

The construction work is being gered up by the financial aid of the Asian Development Bank. They’re providing the necessary finance to make Tribhuvan Airport better. When the work is completed, the airport will have upgraded runway, more parking aprons, and other upgrades as the construction will get completed. This will make flying in Nepal easier and safer for everyone as believed by the authorities.
