Founded in 1958, it is the oldest airline of the country. Out of its main base at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, the airline operates domestic services within Nepal and medium-haul services in Asia. The airline's first aircraft was a Douglas DC-3, used to serve domestic routes and a handful of destinations in India. The airline acquired its first jet aircraft, Boeing 727s, in 1972. As of 13 July 2020, the airline operates a fleet of seven aircraft. Since 2013, the airline has been on the list of air carriers banned in the European Union.TEXT FROM THE RNAC “MOUNTAIN FLIGHT” BROCHURER.N.A.C.'s daily “Mountain flight" allows you to enjoy a unique experience indeed: to admire the breathtaking range of the eastern HIMALAYA from a distance of less than 14 miles, while comfortably seated on board of this pressurized aircraft.The flight will take approximately one hour.On the onward leg of the journey (eastbound), the mountain range will of course unfurl itself on the left side of the plane. But on the return trip (westbound), it will be, at the same distance and perfectly clear again, visible to the passengers seated on the rightside. Thus, all seats being equally good," we would request you, for safety reasons, not to move from one side to the other during the flight.Subject to favourable weather conditions and once the plane will have reached its cruising altitude (approx. 20,000 feet), our Captain may invite all passengers to move forward to the cockpit, but, please, only two passengers· at a time, complying with the indications given by our hostess. The "profile" of the Himalaya range which we have sketched on this folder will enable you to identify most of the peaks, and, in particular, the usually black, pyramid-shaped rock of MOUNT EVEREST, the highest point of the world (29,028 ft.). Other well-known summits, such as KANCHENJUNGA located in the extreme east, ANNAPURNA and DHAULAGIR I in the extreme west, can only be seen when visibility is exceptionally good, the former on the onward leg of the journey, the latter on the return. R.N.A.C. hopes you will enjoy this flight and that it will remain one of your most precious souvenirs of your stay in NEPAL.
