Kathmandu, February 9
The door has been opened for airline companies flying in Nepali airspace to start providing internet service during flights.
This comes after the government decided to allow such a service.
To provide such a service, airline companies will have to fulfil conditions set by the Nepal Telecommunications Authority in its in-flight communication (IFC) services guidelines.
According to the guidelines, such service can be provided by aircraft flying above 10,000 feet. During taxiing, flight or landing and at an altitude below 10,000 feet, passengers will not be allowed to use the service.
Prior to this, airlines were barred from offering this service while flying in Nepali airspace. According to the authority, even Nepali airline companies can use the service if interested.
