The Dutch charter airline, Martinair is stopping its once weekly Amsterdam-Kathmandu flights from 18 April because of low bookings. The airline's marketing department made the announcement in Amsterdam last week and hinted it was because of low occupancy and the reduced prospects of traffic picking up. Meanwhile, Qatar Airways has also announced that it will terminate its four weekly Kathmandu-Kuala Lumpur flights effective from 1 June because of low volume in both directions. However, Qatar says it is committed to keeping its twice daily flights to Doha.
