Druk Air KB Flights to Bhutan
Druk Air KB Flights to Bhutan. History of Aviation Sector in Bhutan. Druk Air, the National Flag Carrier of the Kingdom of Bhutan, was established by Royal Proclamation on the 5th of April, 1981. The history of Druk Air is synonymous with the history of aviation in Bhutan.
Paro airport was commissioned in 1968 but actual scheduled Civil Air transport started only with the arrival of the Dornier 228 in 1983. The 14th of January 1983, was an important day in the history of Druk Air. It was the day when the first aircraft belonging to the Royal Government of Bhutan touched down at Paro airport, a German made Dornier 228-200.Operations with Dornier 228 were full of delays and diversions caused by bad weather either over Paro airport or at the entry point to Bhutan in the foothills.
Actual progress in Druk Air started with the introduction of the BAe 146 in November 1988. Within a short span of the introduction of the BAe 146-100, Druk Air route network was increased to link Paro with New Delhi, Bangkok and Kathmandu besides the existing link with Kolkatta and Dhaka. The reliability and the comfort of BAe 146 slowly induced travel by air from Paro as the preferred means of travel for the most people.

The Airbus narrow body was ferried from Toulouse Blagnac via Delhi Int’l to Paro but has yet to be deployed into revenue service given government restrictions on foreigners entering the country as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
The Bhutanese flag carrier has so far been limited to smaller narrow bodies due to extreme terrain restrictions at Paro which excluded the operation of A320ceo. The airline’s current fleet includes three A319-100s and one ATR42-600. Drukair has yet to file schedules for the A320neo.
