Altitude Air Pvt. Ltd is a charter helicopter airline based in Tribhuvan International Airport and Sinamangal, Kathmandu. The company began operations in 2016 and mainly carries out rescue and charter flights.[1][4]
Altitude Air was founded in 2016 in Kathmandu, Nepal, by various Nepalese tourism entrepreneurs. It ran its test flight on the 27th of September and currently operates two Airbus H-125 helicopters. In 2024, Altitude Air successfully retrieved the bodies of five deceased Russian climbers at 7000 meters, after numerous other companies were unable to do so. As of 2026 they offer services in tourism, cargo, search and rescue, and medical flights.[5]
