Yeti Airlines to Fly PC-6 in More Remote Places

Yeti Airlines is all set to expand its network by launching flights to remote places in Nepal that are unattended by many airline companies. They will soon start chartered flights to Langtang, Jiri, Dhorpatan and Syangboche. Single-engine aircraft, which have short take-off and landing capability, are vital for airlines serving small airfields located in high altitudes. Pilatus Porter was first used in Nepal in May 1960 to ferry transportation and climbing equipment of Swiss Dhaulagiri Himalaya Expedition. Nepal Airlines Corporation, the state-owned airline company, also used three Pilatus Porters from 1961 to 1998.
