Fleet
Tara Air is a Nepalese regional carrier founded in 2009 and based at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu. The airline operates scheduled services connecting Nepal's major cities and remote locations across the Himalayan region, serving both domestic and select international routes within South Asia.
The airline's fleet consists of two aircraft families: the De Havilland Canada Dash 8 and the Dornier 328. Both are twin-engine turboprops specifically designed for operations in mountainous terrain with unprepared airstrips, making them ideal for Nepal's geography. These aircraft are efficient on regional routes and carry passenger counts suitable for point-to-point services.
As a regional operator, Tara Air focuses on accessibility and reliability in one of the world's most challenging aviation environments. The airline connects communities across the Kathmandu Valley and beyond, serving both business and leisure travelers who depend on regional air transport for connectivity.
