Air Asia X to Kathmandu (KTM)
hi,
Seen reports from almost all news papers from Nepal that AirAsiaX has started twice weekly flight from KUL to KTM. First flight was apparently on 3rd July 2012. Flight is with the A330 aircraft.
I haven't found this anywhere else outside of Nepalese News paper, not even on Air Asia X website.
Can anyone shed more light to it.

Well, confirmed that the Air Asia X did land and fly to KTM yesterday. So it's for real. It is currently a 'charter' operation to be turned into 'scheduled' operation in September as well.
Seems like MAS announced their intention to fly today. They had announced to fly to KTM back in 2011, but never did. Hopefully this time they will. Good to see MAS also announcing the flight. Found a link for that too.
