Bhutan Airlines, the national airline of Bhutan, was established in 2011 as a pioneer of private aviation in this mountainous kingdom. Since its inception, the airline has gained a reputation for reliability and excellent customer service, as evidenced by numerous awards for the best regional airline in Asia. With a fleet of 2 modern Airbus A319 aircraft, Bhutan Airlines serves 5 key destinations such as Bangkok, Kolkata, Kathmandu, Delhi, and its own capital, Paro. It transports around 500,000 passengers annually, earning recognition for unique views during flights and the staff's readiness to assist even in the most challenging Himalayan flying conditions.
One of Bhutan Airlines' greatest achievements is the expansion of its international network through strategic partnerships with leading carriers worldwide. These airlines closely collaborate with major Asian hubs, allowing passengers easy connections and convenient access to various corners of the globe. Through a partnership with Thai Airways, passengers can now travel comfortably from Bhutan to many cities across Southeast Asia. The airline's global reach also supports ambitious plans for fleet expansion and network growth in the coming years.
Passenger experience is a top priority at Bhutan Airlines, reflected in high customer satisfaction ratings. The airline offers a wide range of onboard services, including traditional Bhutanese cuisine that enriches and enhances the travel experience. Ergonomic seating, modern entertainment systems, and the authentic Bhutanese ambiance of the aircraft interiors make every journey exceptional. Regular surveys and feedback from passengers enable continuous improvement of standards and the introduction of innovations aimed at ensuring customer satisfaction.
Bhutan Airlines also places great emphasis on ecological initiatives, striving to minimize its impact on the environment. The airline's fleet consists of aircraft that meet the most stringent emission standards, and additionally, the airline actively invests in offset projects aimed at offsetting carbon emissions. These projects include afforestation and the protection of existing forests in Bhutan, which not only help combat climate change but also support local communities and biodiversity.
Technological innovations have become a hallmark of Bhutan Airlines. Modern flight safety solutions and advanced navigation systems allow for seamless operations, even at one of the world's most demanding airports, Paro. Ongoing staff training and investments in the latest aviation technologies ensure the highest quality of service and passenger safety.
