Kathmandu: The Nepal government has decided to extend the suspension of domestic and international flights as well as public transport until August 31 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

On July 20, Nepal's cabinet had decided to resume domestic and international flights which have remained suspended since March 22, from August 17 along with the decision of lifting the lockdown.
Earlier, Nepal's Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation recommended continuing to suspend flights.
