SilkAir to Fly to Nepal from October 30

So only the A310s could land there back then? Was the route canned because of aircraft issues, performance, or both?

Think Kathmandu was canned due to low loads. A B772 can fly into Kathmandu perfectly fine since Thai also uses B772 aircraft to fly in from Bangkok.

with BKK and SIN being regional hub, the pie can only get thinner. Now i am not sure if 9V would want to take on this sector with a 320 seater bird, rather than have a smaller cap plane from its sister company do it.

How about the A330-300s scheduled for delivery starting in 2009?

SIA has never been one to fly to low-load, commercially unviable and mostly "exotic" destinations. Since it isn't even flying to Latin/South America, the South Pacific Islands and Mongolia, Paro would be an even more remote possibility. By the way, the Bhutan government imposes caps on tourist arrivals. No way SIA would fly there anytime soon.
