Most recent media out off india suggested the runway would open (and therefore all fixed wing operations) about 1000am local, today. That was about 3 hours ago.

I'm not really sure people understand the impact of this incident on Nepal. The country has essentially been closed for two days. Tourism is a huge export for the country and this time of the year is still reasonably busy.
Edit - just beat me to it Grahame. That's almost better than you could normally expect from Nepal.
