Sita Air is an airline based in Kathmandu, Nepal, operating domestic services within Nepal. It was established in 2003. The airline's main base is Tribhuvan International Airport with hubs at Pokhara Airport and Nepalgunj Airport.

History

The airline received its air operators certificate in 2000, and was established in October 2000, but was unable to operate until 2003 due to political unrest in Nepal. Operations started on 6 February 2003 with a single Dornier 228; a second aircraft was added in April 2003. In August 2014, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal barred the airline from carrying passengers due to safety concerns and failing to meet international standards. The airline was allowed to continue operating cargo flights. However, by 2016, the airline was allowed to operate passenger services again. In 2016, the airline was sold to Biratnagar-based Agrawal Group for NPRs 550,000,000. In 2017, Sita Air bought two more Dornier 228 aircraft from Simrik Airlines.
