History

Air Dynasty was founded in 1993 in Kathmandu, Nepal, by Ang Tshering Sherpa, who later also founded Yeti Airlines.[9] In 2001, the airline received a foreign direct investment from British businessman Malcolm Roy Smith, who held 50% of the airline and served as the chairman.[10] In 2005, the airline partnered with the Bhutanese flag carrier Druk Air, to which a Eurocopter helicopter was leased, after the government of Bhutan decided to introduce helicopter charter services in the country.[11] In 2013, the European Commission banned all Nepalese airlines from entering European airspace. This restriction is still in place as of January 2023 and specifically also regards Air Dynasty.[12][13]
