Gautam Buddha Regional International airport Project

The process of construction of the second international airport has begun with invitation for China’s Northwest Civil Aviation Airport Construction Group to sign the contract. In nearly three decades, Nepal is finally constructing the second international Airport by 2018. Following the invitation by the Civil Aviation Authority, a Chinese contractor will come to Nepal to give a bank guarantee. Nepal’s southern neighbor does not prefer a Chinese contractor in its vicinity and the process was delayed due to this reason. Given the warming up of the relations between the two giants, there seems to be some change in the horizon regarding Nepal’s position vis-à-vis the project.
