Fleet
Yeti Airlines (IATA: YT, ICAO: NYT) is a Nepalese airline established in 1998, operating as a key regional carrier for domestic and international routes across South Asia. The airline is headquartered at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal's primary aviation hub.
The airline specializes in connecting remote and mountainous regions of Nepal with reliable service, including many destinations that would otherwise be difficult to access by road. Yeti Airlines plays an essential role in Nepal's regional transport network, facilitating both passenger travel and cargo operations to underserved communities across the Himalayas.
The airline operates a focused fleet of ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft, which are well-suited to the challenging terrain, high-altitude airfields, and unpredictable weather conditions characteristic of Nepal's geography. This aircraft type enables operations to smaller regional airports that larger jets cannot serve.
