Domestic flight fares rose significantly following a steep hike in aviation fuel prices. The Nepal Oil Corporation increased the price of aviation fuel by 75%, setting it at Rs 251 per liter. As a result, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal revised fares across routes. The Kathmandu–Dhangadhi route saw the largest increase of Rs 5,480, bringing the fare to Rs 11,090, while mountain flights rose by Rs 4,225. The price hike has been linked to global supply disruptions and rising international energy costs.
