The aviation history of Nepal started in early 1950's. Until 1951, only a few foreigners had penetrated into Nepal. They were mainly British officers of the Gurkha troops, a few scholars and friends of the Royal family. Later on, Indian air companies started their operation for business purposes, and connected Nepal with Indian cities. After the establishment of the national flag carrier, the Royal Nepal Airlines (RNA), the route expansion of civil aviation made extensive progress domestically and internationally.

Royal Nepal took over an international schedule in 1960. Starting with a fleet of Douglas DC-3's, the airline quickly moved on to the turboprop Fokker F-27. The commissioning of the remarkable Twin Otter and Pilatus Porter aircraft into the Royal Nepal Airlines fleet in 1970s brought about a quick and easy way of accessing many of the remote regions of the kingdom.

At present RNAC operates 10 international destinations namely Banglore, Delhi and Mumbai , Bangkok, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Osaka, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and Dubai. In Domestic operations it connects more than 35 destinations inside Nepal.
More than 90 percent of Nepal's area is covered by mountains. Moreover, Nepal is also landlocked. Without the use of air transport, remote places are cut off from point of view of tourism, food supply and other essential requirement. Rural places such as Solukhombu, Mustang, Humla, Dolpa are accesible by airways only as there are no any roadway connection to other parts of the country.
The transport system being the main factor for the economic development of the country, and RNAC is a strong vehicle for national integration and has proved to be a symbol of freedom movement, both within and outside the country. It is the pride of Nepal.
