Nepal Airlines is Nepal’s flag carrier and a key option for scheduled passenger flying in and out of the country, with Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu as the primary gateway for international travelers. For many itineraries, flights through KTM also connect onward to Nepal’s wider network of regional airports, supporting travel between the Kathmandu Valley and other parts of the country.
Himalayan Airlines is another Kathmandu-based passenger airline serving travelers using Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). Within Nepal, carriers such as Yeti Airlines and Simrik Airlines focus on passenger services that fit into the domestic network linking Kathmandu with airports including Pokhara Domestic Airport (PKR), Biratnagar Airport (BIR), Janakpur Airport (JKR), Nepalgunj Airport (KEP), Taplejung Airport (TPJ), and Gautam Buddha International Airport (BWA).
