General Information About Pokhara Airport
Nepal is currently developing an international airport in western Nepal with assistance from a Chinese construction firm, scheduled to open for use sometime around 2022.
Keep in mind that Nepal's new airport was constructed using a concessional loan from China's Exim Bank, prompting experts to express concern that Nepal could fall into a debt trap by not repaying this loan in full.
Capacity-wise, this airport may struggle with larger aircraft. At best it can accommodate medium-range commercial planes like Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s.
Additionally, due to an inability of the airport to accommodate full payload of narrow-body jets - often 5-10 tonnes worth - they incur a "payload penalty."
Reports submitted to the government show that airlines operating between Pokhara and Nepal will have to impose a 50% load restriction, meaning they will carry less fuel and passengers.
Authorities and pilots believe this can result in losses for airlines, as well as flight delays.
Despite all these obstacles, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's government is pushing ahead with their plans to modernize the national airport system by developing the new airport.
