History
Yeti Airlines was established in May 1998 and received its Air Operators Certificate on 17 August 1998. It started operations with two de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters.
Yeti Airlines and its subsidiary Tara Air combine to form the largest domestic airline in Nepal; the group has more than 60% of the total market share as of January 2008. However, the airline has a history of accidents and has had the most accidents resulting in deaths among airlines in Nepal. Together, Yeti Airlines and Tara Air have the widest domestic flight network of any Nepali airline and fly to most destinations in Nepal. The STOL aircraft of Tara Air serve much of the isolated population of Nepal who live in remote areas, Whilst the BAe Jetstreams of Yeti serve the more substantial regional airports.
