Dubai-based flights to Kathmandu are continuing despite deadly floods and landslides in Nepal and Tibet, according to flydubai. The airline operates 27 direct weekly flights between Dubai and Kathmandu, providing regular connections for UAE-based travelers. However, some services have faced delays on Thursday, August 27. Dubai Airports' schedule shows that several flydubai flights to Kathmandu experienced delays, including FZ573, FZ1133, FZ539, FZ1595, H9766, and RA230.
These delays do not indicate a suspension of UAE-Kathmandu services. Sharjah flights to Kathmandu are also operating normally, with Air Arabia's services experiencing delays as well. Nepal is facing severe flooding, with 270 bodies found and 644 tourists reported missing, including 517 foreigners. European governments have issued safety guidance and emergency contacts for affected travelers.
UAE residents planning to travel to Kathmandu should check their airline's flight status and follow local authorities' guidance.
