Singapore Airlines said it would be operating two out of seven weekly flights between Singapore and Kathmandu with 787-10 Dreamliner during the festive season of Dashain and Tihar in October and November.

Operating the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner will allow the airline to expand its capacity for the route and cater to the higher customer demand during the festive season, the airline said in a statement.

The 787-10 Dreamliner will be operated on Mondays and Thursdays. The aircraft is equipped with KrisWorld, in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity, fully flat beds and direct aisle access for all Business Class customers, and ergonomically-designed seats in Economy Class, offering all customers a more comfortable in-flight experience.

Nepalis who are based overseas will be able to return home to spend Dashain and Tihar with their family and loved ones.

The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner is equipped with a total of 337 seats consisting of 36 Business Class seats and 301 Economy Class seats.
