Fleet
Altitude Air is a Nepalese helicopter airline established in 2016, operating from its hub at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The airline focuses on aerial tourism and charter services throughout Nepal and the surrounding Himalayan region, offering passengers unique perspectives of some of the world's highest peaks and remote mountain terrain.
The airline's fleet consists of the Eurocopter AS350 B3e, a single-engine helicopter widely used for mountain operations due to its performance at high altitude. This aircraft is well-suited to Nepal's challenging geography and is commonly deployed for scenic mountain flights, remote area access, and specialized charter missions.
As a helicopter operator rather than a traditional fixed-wing airline, Altitude Air serves passengers seeking experiential flights and point-to-point mountain access rather than conventional route networks. The AS350 B3e's capabilities make it ideal for landing in confined spaces and high-altitude locations, opening destinations inaccessible to larger aircraft.
