Manang Air

Manang Air (founded 1997) is a Nepalese airline headquartered at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The airline operates from its main hub at Tribhuvan International Airport, which serves as the gateway to Nepal's aviation network and the primary base for domestic and regional operations.

The airline's fleet consists of the Eurocopter AS350 B3e, a single-engine helicopter optimized for high-altitude operations in mountainous terrain. This aircraft type reflects Manang Air's specialization in helicopter services across Nepal's challenging geography, enabling access to remote valleys and areas beyond conventional runway infrastructure.

Since its establishment in 1997, Manang Air has focused on bridging connectivity gaps in Nepal's remote regions. The helicopter-based operations model allows the airline to serve destinations inaccessible to fixed-wing aircraft, supporting both tourism and essential logistics operations throughout the country's diverse topography.
