Flight Information to Bhutan – Travel to Paro International Airport

Traveling to Bhutan is a unique experience, and flights into the kingdom are equally special due to the breathtaking Himalayan views and Paro Airport’s dramatic landing. Paro International Airport (PBH) is the only international gateway to Bhutan and is served by two airlines:

1. Drukair – Royal Bhutan Airlines

Drukair is Bhutan’s national flag carrier, operated by the Royal Government of Bhutan. With decades of experience flying into the challenging terrain of the Himalayas, Drukair is known for its reliable service and well-trained pilots. The airline operates Airbus A319 and A320neo aircraft for international routes.

2. Bhutan Airlines – Tashi Air

Bhutan Airlines is the country's first private airline, operated by the Tashi Group of Companies. It offers competitive pricing, modern aircraft, and convenient schedules, making it a strong alternative to Drukair.

International Destinations Served

Both Drukair and Bhutan Airlines operate flights to/from a range of regional international destinations. Depending on the season and demand, the routes may vary, but key cities include:

  • Nepal – Kathmandu (Tribhuvan International Airport)
  • India – Delhi, Kolkata, Bagdogra, Guwahati, Gaya (Bodhgaya)
  • Bangladesh – Dhaka
  • Thailand – Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi Airport)
  • Singapore – Changi Airport

These flights connect Bhutan to major South and Southeast Asian cities, making it relatively accessible for regional travelers.

Important Travel Notes for Bhutan

  • Limited Seat Availability: Flights into Bhutan are limited due to the airport’s capacity and aircraft seat numbers. The demand is especially high during peak travel seasons (spring and autumn), which coincide with major Bhutanese festivals and the best weather for trekking.
    Advance booking is highly recommended, ideally 2–3 months before your travel date.
  • Scenic Flights: Flights into Paro offer stunning views of the Eastern Himalayas, including Mount Everest, Kanchenjunga, and Bhutan’s sacred peaks like Jomolhari. Seats on the left side of the aircraft when flying into Paro often offer the best views.
  • Flight Schedules: Flight schedules can change due to weather conditions, especially during the monsoon season. Travelers are advised to keep buffer days before and after their Bhutan tour for flexibility.
