Buddha Air

Buddha Air (IATA: U4, ICAO: BHA) is a Nepali airline established in 1997, operating from its primary hub at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The airline has built a reputation for reliable service on challenging Himalayan and regional routes, connecting Nepal's remote communities with major cities across South Asia.

The airline's network focuses on domestic and regional routes, leveraging its base in Kathmandu to serve destinations throughout Nepal and neighbouring countries. Buddha Air has established itself as a dependable operator in a region where mountainous terrain and weather conditions demand experienced crews and capable aircraft.

Buddha Air operates a fleet of proven turboprop aircraft: the ATR 42, ATR 72, and Beechcraft 1900. These aircraft are ideally suited to the airline's mission, offering reliability on short-haul routes and the ability to operate from high-altitude and unprepared airfields common in the Himalayan region. The fleet composition reflects the airline's focus on regional connectivity and passenger comfort on regional services.
