Moreover, TIA had threatened to blacklist the airline if they failed to pay the airport service charge. It has also come to the notice that the local general sales agent of AirAsia has been deceiving the TIA by issuing bounced cheques.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, TIA general manager Chhetri was optimistic that the company would clear its outstanding dues on time and also its flights. He informed that if the company failed to make payments on time, TIA would be adopting legal provisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AirAsia, a Malaysian airline company, has notified that it will suspend flights to Kathmandu completely from October 13 for at least one year.
