Cosmic Air started its operations from 1997, as a domestic airline based in Katmandu, Nepal. It initially operated two MI 17 Helicopters, later upgraded in 1998-99 to Dornier 228 aircraft and further in 2000-01 to two SAAB 340 aircraft. It was then quite a feat as Cosmic Air was the first airline to introduce second-generation turbo prop aircraft with pressurized cabin for domestic flights. In October 2004 the first Fokker 100 Jet Aircraft was added to the fleet.
Cosmic Air has revolutionized the domestic operations by introducing jet aircraft since November 2004 on its trunk routes, which were previously operated by turbo prop aircraft for the last 35 years.

Cosmic Air then expanded in a phenomenal fashion by operating regional flights to India and Bangladesh with its twice-daily flights to Delhi and five weekly flights to Dhaka. It is the first private Nepalese airline to operate International flights.

Unique Selling Point (USP)
Our Fokker aircraft all have a single class configuration with 105 leather-bound seats and boast a seat pitch of over 32 inch, thus ensuring generous legroom on any given sector.

Cosmic Air has better connectivity to Nepal’s No. 1 gateway – Delhi than any other carrier.

With the cultural and historical relations prevailing between India and Nepal, a significant number of Indian tourists (up to 40 percent of the tourist arrivals) visit Nepal every year for various reasons, whether it be business, shopping, casino or even to escape the heat. With its nationwide connections and better connectivity between the two capitals, Cosmic Air can offer unparalleled flight frequencies to all incoming tourists. Besides Delhi, with its extensive network of destinations offered, has become an important transit point for travel into and out of Nepal.
