Development of yet another full-fledged international airport in Nijgadh, Bara has also been under consideration. If all goes well, Nepal is set to have four international airports by 2022.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli laid the foundation stone of an international airport in Pokhara. The $215.96 million (Rs 22 billion) project is expected to be completed by July 2020. The project which lies at Chinnedanda, 3 km east of Pokhara’s domestic airport, has remained on the drawing board for decades.
“The project will be completed on time,” said PM Oli. “The international airport will increase the importance of the tourist hub further.”
In 1975, the government had acquired over 3,106 ropanis of land for the project. However, the project was put on the back burner. “Pokhara locals’ 40-year-old dream of having an international airport is about to come true,” said Oli.
