The route will operate a total of 10 two-way flights annually, making use of the modern wide-body aircraft Airbus A319.

As part of this occasion, Bhutan Airlines is offering round-trip tickets priced at US$1,050 each for business class ticket and US$900 each for those flying economy class, including taxes and fees.

Pema Nadik, CEO of Bhutan Airlines, said the event aims to meet growing travel demand of both sides, while simultaneously promoting trade and cultural exchanges between the two countries. Bhutan is located in South Asia and is landlocked between India, Tibet, China, and Nepal.

This comes after Bhutan was named as the happiest country in the world as it had successfully developed and implemented the Gross National Happiness (GNH), which was conceptualized in 1972 and officially became part of Bhutan's constitution in 2008.
