FAQ about Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM)
Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM)

Overview
KTM handled close to 9.5 million passengers in 2024, up 12% on the year before, as Nepal's tourism and labour-migration traffic continues to recover. It's the country's busiest airport by a wide margin, and the only way in for international travellers heading to Kathmandu, the Everest region or onward domestic connections.
Where It Connects To
KTM splits cleanly into international long-haul and Nepal's domestic mountain network.
- International: around 43 destinations across the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, with the widest choice via Gulf and Indian hubs.
- Domestic: mountain airstrips across Nepal, including gateways to the main trekking regions.
Airlines and Hubs
KTM is the hub for Nepal's flag carrier Nepal Airlines and Himalaya Airlines. International carriers include Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, IndiGo and Air India, among around 30 airlines in total. Domestic flights run on Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines and Saurya Airlines.
Terminals
KTM has two terminals around 500 m apart, linked by a free shuttle bus: the International Terminal for all overseas flights, and a separate Domestic Terminal for Nepal's internal network. A larger international terminal is planned, though as of mid-2026 construction had not yet begun.
Getting To and From the City
Kathmandu's city centre is only a few kilometres away. Pre-paid taxi counters are the standard option; there's no rail link, and traffic can add time to the short distance, so allow more time than the distance alone suggests.
Facilities
Expect duty-free shopping, restaurants and cafes, free Wi-Fi, lounges and information desks throughout the terminal.
