Nepal’s Gurung family, who became investors in Miss World last autumn, has launched Himalaya Jet, with ambitions to begin flights from London in September.
The venture is headed by Dipendra Gurung and lists an office at Heathrow Terminal 2. The proposed carrier plans to launch flights from London and Paris to Mumbai, Delhi and Kathmandu. Sydney is also listed as a potential destination.
Himalaya Air’s website says: “Our direct flights…will be an estimated 30% cheaper than other traditional airlines’ fare.” The site said “statutory consultation” was now complete.
