Buddha Air on the other hand, only provides flights from and to Varanasi, India.

Airports in Nepal
In Nepal, there are three international airports:
- Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA)
- Gautam Buddha International Airport (BWA)
- Pokhara International Airport (PKR/VNPR)
Since TIA couldn’t suffice the number of flights per day, the government of Nepal proposed to have two more airports.
Currently, BWA, also known as Bhairahawa Airport, has international flights by Jazeera and FlyDubai. PKR/VNPR is still a new airport with no international flights so far.
Flights with Transits
Other than direct flights, you can take flights with transits as well. Many airlines have indirect flights to airports from North America, Europe, and Australia.
Most of the time, transit points are India, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Doha, Dubai, and Muscat.
