SilkAir, with its Airbus A320 family aircraft, is all set to operate three flights a week from October 30 direct on Singapore-Kathmandu route on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The regional wing of Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, is expected to cater to leisure traffic out of Singapore and facilitate easy connections for customers from Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Europe, all which are important tourism source markets for Nepal. 
The flights depart at 9.10 am from Singapore and arrive at 12.05 pm in Kathmandu, while flights from Kathmandu will depart at 13.05 pm and arrive Singapore at 20.15 pm, states a press release.
For the passengers from Kathmandu, the new service will offer direct flights to Singapore and the convenience of onward connections to more than 90 international cities with Singapore Airlines-SilkAir network.
"We are thrilled by the opportunity to fly to Kathmandu," David Lim, SilkAir's vice-president commercial, said adding that forward bookings are already very promising.
SilkAir flies to more than 28 destinations across 10 countries, mostly in South East Asia.
Everest Express Tours and Travels is the GSA for Singapore Airlines and Silk Air for Nepal.
