Expectations were sky-high when Nepal opened two new international airports in Pokhara and Bhairahawa. The government took on heavy loans from China to build the Pokhara International Airport as well as a loan from the Asian Development Bank for Gautam Buddha International Airport, hoping to attract tourists and foreign investment. But a year after opening, neither airport has seen regular international flights. Nepal's national carrier doesn't have enough planes and foreign airlines aren't interested. Now the country struggles to repay the massive loans while the airports remain largely unused. A classic case of how big dreams, mismanagement, and China's debt trap diplomacy led Nepal's impressive new infrastructure to the brink of failure.
