Buddha Air, History
Buddha Air is the first and only airline in Nepal to operate brand new, straight-out-of-the-factory, currently in production pressurized aircraft. The main emphasis of the company has been to operate these aircrafts safely and with maximum comfort to the passengers. To maintain the impeccable safety record of the company, BA operates in only six fully navigational aid equipped asphalt airports with more than 3700 feet runway length and end all flights at TIA, Kathmandu. The minimum cruising altitude for all BA flight is 16,000 feet because the tallest hills are not more than 10,000 feet on the flight path to these airports. BA has not operated to remote/hilly STOL and unpaved airfields, which have ill-equipped navigational aid and have unpredictable weather.
