About Summit Air

Discover the Thrill of the Himalayas with Summit Air If you're looking to experience the majestic Himalayas up close, Summit Air is your gateway to Nepal's most breathtaking and remote destinations. As one of Nepal’s premier domestic airlines, Summit Air is known for its dedication to safety, precision, and exceptional service in one of the world’s most challenging flying environments. Established in 2011, Summit Air (formerly Goma Air) operates from its base at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. It specializes in high-altitude flights to destinations such as Lukla, Jomsom, and Rara — regions that are not only remote but also rich in natural beauty and cultural significance. These routes are vital for both tourism and local communities, offering access where road connectivity is either limited or non-existent. What truly sets Summit Air apart is its commitment to operating safely in Nepal’s rugged terrain. The airline uses STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) aircraft, particularly the Let L-410 UVP-E20, which are designed to land on short and often unpaved airstrips in mountainous regions. Their experienced pilots are trained to navigate Nepal’s unique topography, ensuring a smooth and safe journey for every passenger. For adventurers heading to Everest Base Camp, Summit Air provides one of the quickest and most scenic routes via a flight to Lukla – often called the most thrilling airport in the world. From lush green valleys to snow-capped peaks, the aerial views alone are worth the trip. Whether you're a trekker, a nature lover, or simply a traveler looking to explore Nepal’s hidden gems, Summit Air offers reliable and efficient air service to get you there. With a strong reputation for punctuality and passenger care, Summit Air continues to be a trusted name in Nepal’s domestic aviation industry.
