Starting November 8, 2024, Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu will undergo major taxiway construction. As part of this essential development project, the airport will be closed from 10 PM to 8 AM daily. This closure will remain in effect until April 1, 2025.
Why the Closure?
The ongoing construction work is crucial for modernizing and improving the airport’s taxiway infrastructure, ensuring safer and more efficient air travel in the long term. However, the nature of this work requires the complete shutdown of airport operations during the nighttime hours to ensure the safety of workers and passengers.
