Tribhuvan International Airport

It is the sole international airport in Nepal. Austrian Airlines was the only European
airline to serve the airport in the recent past, a seasonal service to cater for
the tourist season, and the service terminated April 2007, leaving Kathmandu
with no direct European service.

There are two terminals, one domestic and one international, the domestic is
on the left side as you enter. Facilities in both are limited to a few shops and
cafes. In the international terminal there are several duty free shops. Thai Air
run the business class lounge, offering newspapers and snacks. The international
terminal shows off a brick facing and is very dimly lit. An extension was made
to the international terminal to make the distance to the airplanes shorter.

The airport is about 6 kilometers from the city centre in the Kathmandu
valley.
