The 19 seater 1900D Buddha Air to Operate from July
Bhutanese wanting to fly from Paro to Kathmandu in Nepal and back will soon have an option of taking another airline besides the National Airline, Drukair.
The 19 seater 1900D Buddha Air, a privately operated airline based in Nepal, made a test flight to Paro earlier today.
According to the Director of the Department of Civil Aviation, Phala Dorji, the bilateral air service agreement with Nepal is already in place and the airline will start operating from the 26th July this year.
The airline will operate 2 flights per week, with further plans to go daily. The airline has already operated the Paro-Kathmandu sector in 2002 for Drukair. They conducted about 70 flights in 2002, when the Drukair was carrying out aircraft maintenance.
When asked about the air fare, the Chief Engineer of the Buddha Air, Megah Thapa, said it will be very competitive. “Right now we haven’t fixed the air fare but it will be competitive price,” he said.
“We thought that Bhutan would be a best place to start the international flight, as both are mountainous countries and we will be joining the two cities Kathmandu and Paro,” he added.
Currently, the airline connects nine destinations in Nepal.

The documentary Bhutan GNH: Taking the Middle Path to Happiness wins Emmys
The documentary Bhutan: Taking the Middle Path to Happiness by Tom Vendetti (a Hawaii based producer, director, cinematographer and editor) was awarded two Emmys at the 39th annual northern California area Emmy awards on May 18. The documentary won in the historical/cultural program/special category; and the second Emmy was awarded to the composer-associate Christopher Hedge for the films musical composition/arrangement.
The one-hour documentary examines the efforts of Bhutan’s government to create gross national happiness (GNH) for its people, by promoting the four pillars of environmental preservation, cultural promotion, economic development and good governance. Each pillar is discussed in detail through interviews with government officials and the local people, who explain the meaning of the middle path as a concept rooted in Buddhism and how it relates to the Bhutanese pursuit of GNH.
The film was distributed in the United States through PBS (the public broadcasting service) and has been screened at several film festivals around the world, including screenings held by the Bhutan Foundation in Washington DC, New York, San Francisco and Taiwan.
A screening of the film is being planned for early June by the Bhutan Foundation. A preview of the film can be viewed on the official website http://www.bhutan-film.com/index.html.
