About Us

Altitude Air Pvt. Ltd. is headquartered in Sinamangal, Kathmandu, and we obtained our operating license from the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation in August of 2015. We began our services from October of 2016, and have since then been serving the skies Above and Beyond. With safety as our foremost priority, our enhanced aircrafts navigate the daunting terrains of Nepal with the utmost precision and safety. 

At Altitude Air, we continuously push past boundaries for safety and progression. Our constant investments in the most advanced helicopter technology allows us to be equipped with premier safety features. Our comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) proactively identifies potential hazards, ensuring our team is able to consistently meet the highest safety standards, in compliance with the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). With our own NCAR Part 145- approved maintenance organization, we undergo rigorous maintenance ensuring our helicopters remain in prime conditions, satisfying NCAR Part M regulations.

Our success relies fully on our team - renowned pilots with vast experiences in navigating the Himalayan range, skilled engineers, a dedicated crew; professionals who are all committed to providing the safest and most reliable operations. Nepali aviators face challenges while flying through the Himalayan range, home to several summits over 8,000 meters, but Altitude Air’s expertise and services assure safe and comfortable travel.  

Our growing family continues to earn global respect as we work alongside international agencies such as the World Bank, National Geographic, Bollywood production studios, and Government agencies. Our collaborations reflect the commitment we have towards excellence and pushing the boundaries Nepal’s landscape creates. The services we provide at Altitude Air remain unbounded, from scenic mountain flights to specialized transport, we can provide you with all the opportunities to explore the remarkable beauty within Nepal. 

Our dedication extends beyond business, as we are deeply committed to supporting our community when in need. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Altitude Air played a critical role in transporting patients, medical supplies, and cargo; our resilience and unwavering commitment at times of crises ensure we provide our support whenever possible.
