Fly Yeti (Nepali: फ्लाइयति, stylized as flyyeti.com)[2] was a low-cost airline based in Kathmandu, Nepal. The airline was a joint venture between the Nepalese regional carrier Yeti Airlines and the Emirati low-cost airline Air Arabia. The airline suspended all flights from 16 July 2008, citing political uncertainty. The company slogan was Pay less, fly more.[3]
Fly Yeti was founded in 2007 as Nepal's first low-cost carrier and commenced operations on 20 January 2008.[4] Despite its parent company Air Arabia claiming that the airline had a sufficiently high occupancy, Fly Yeti ceased operations on 16 July 2008 due to political uncertainty in Nepal.[5]
