Aircraft Museum Kathmandu is an aviation museum located in Sinamangal, Kathmandu, Nepal.[1] The museum is inside an Airbus A330-300 of Turkish Airlines that only flew for about eight months before suffering a runway excursion at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu in March 2015.[2] It was established under a joint initiative by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal[3] and pilot Bed Upreti and his trust. This museum was officially opened to public on 28 November, 2017.[4] The museum's exhibits include the aircraft's original cockpit setting, model and miniature aircraft and items documenting the history of Nepalese aviation.[5] The museum is the second of its kind in Nepal, after Bed Upreti had already set up a similar, yet smaller aviation museum, the Aircraft Museum Dhangadhi in Dhangadhi in Western Nepal. The museum cost around NPRs 70 million.[6]
