BEIJING, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ --
Air China has seen a huge increase in Chinese tourists visiting Nepal. There are
now 70 times more Chinese tourists visiting the country than in 2002, the year that
Nepal became a tourist destination for Chinese people.
Air China is the only airline that connects these two dream destinations, with
flights between Lhasa, Tibet, and Kathmandu, Nepal -- a route that has been available
since 1988. This is the only route that provides breathtaking views of the legendary
Mount Everest to its passengers.
Aircraft on this route are flown by experienced pilots, and incorporate advanced
technology, including Required Navigation Performance (RNP), ensuring optimal safety
levels.
Passengers from all over China can visit Kathmandu with Chengdu acting as a hub
for a number of cities in Tibet, and a number of cities in other parts of China.
