Fishtail Air Pvt. Ltd.

Fishtail Air Pvt. Ltd. is a helicopter charter company based in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was previously known as Summit Helicopters Air Pvt. Ltd. The company was established in 1997 under an Air Operators Certificate issued by the government of Nepal.

Fishtail Air operates throughout Nepal. It also makes occasional trans border flights to Bhutan and India. Its services include charter flights, rescue and medical evacuation.

The company runs heli tours, including trekking flights, the Chitwan wildlife tour, skydiving, cargo sling work and glamping tours. Popular tours on the site include ABC heli trekking, Langtang heli trekking and skydiving.

One of its tours is the Mount Kailash yatra. The route flies from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and then to Simikot. A heli tour then reaches the Nepal Tibet border, and a 4WD or tourist coach takes travellers on to Lake Manasarovar.

The fleet includes a Bell 206B III Jet Ranger (9N-AII), an AS 350 B3+ Ecureuil and an AS 350 B3e Ecureuil (9N-AJQ). The website says the AS 350 B series can land at altitudes up to 23,000 feet.

The AS 350 B3+ and B3e use Turbomeca Arriel engines rated at 847 shp, with FADEC engine control. The wide cabin can be reconfigured for utility and heavy load transport, medical evacuation, search and rescue, law enforcement, oil rig transport and corporate passenger transport.

The company's partner is Summit Air. The site lists a head office in Kathmandu and a 24/7 airport and operations contact. It also has a media coverage page, an FAQ and a flight safety page.
