About This Airport
An 8,000 m² cargo building stands ready at Gautam Buddha, complete with space set aside for a future cold-chain room, yet much of it sits idle for want of regular international flights. Opened to international traffic in May 2022 near Bhairahawa, the airport mainly carries pilgrims and tourists bound for Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, on Yeti Airlines, Buddha Air and occasional Thai AirAsia services. Dedicated freight handling is therefore minimal in practice. Shippers needing dependable airfreight route through Tribhuvan (KTM) in Kathmandu for now.
