Singapore Airlines said it would be operating two out of seven weekly flights between Singapore and Kathmandu with 787-10 Dreamliner during the festive season of Dashain and Tihar in October and November.
Operating the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner will allow the airline to expand its capacity for the route and cater to the higher customer demand during the festive season, the airline said in a statement.
