Nepal Airlines is Nepal’s national carrier, based in Kathmandu and established in July 1958. It combines domestic services with international links to cities in South and East Asia and the Gulf. Its international aircraft include Airbus A320 and A330 jets, continuing a history that began with the Douglas DC-3.

Yes, preferred seats on the published international route list can be bought in advance.

Request the appropriate support when booking and report early; the Kathmandu ground-handling guide recommends three hours before departure. For a powered mobility aid, provide battery type, weight, dimensions and handling details 72 hours ahead for approval. Bring an escort if personal care is needed.

The published service covers unaccompanied children over five and under 12; ages 12–15 can receive it on request. It costs USD 100 each way plus applicable taxes. Children with reduced mobility need an escort. Confirm arrangements directly if the child is exactly five, since the published age wording is unclear.
