««We are proud to have been chosen as the Passenger Sales Agent for Buddha Air in Italy and we are ready to offer all our experience and professionalism to support the airline’s growth in our country. Thanks to this new partnership, we will be able to offer the Italian market new opportunities to discover Nepal—an extraordinary and fascinating destination—leveraging Buddha Air’s extensive network of domestic flights,” said Patrizia Ribaga, Managing Director of Global Distribution Sales & Marketing.
Founded in 1997, Buddha Air is now one of Nepal’s leading airlines. Its inaugural flight, operated with a Beechcraft 1900D over the Everest range, marked a historic milestone as the first domestic flight by a private Nepali carrier.
Today, the airline operates a fleet of 18 aircrafts (ATR 72-500 and ATR 42-320), connecting 13 Nepali cities—including Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Bhairahawa, Janakpur, Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj, and Tumlingtar—and one international destination, Varanasi (India), through 43 daily routes.
Buddha Air is also renowned for its iconic Everest Experience Mountain Flight, a one-hour scenic flight departing from Kathmandu that offers close-up views of 20 of the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Cho-Oyu, and Shisha Pangma.
A key asset of the airline is its certified Part 145 AMO (Approved Maintenance Organization) hangar, the only one in Nepal to meet international standards. Located within Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu), the facility spans 3,400 square meters.
With this appointment, Buddha Air strengthens its international expansion strategy and confirms its commitment to growing its presence in the Italian market.
