Major changes set for Bhutan market as Drukair expands and Tashi Air plans early 2012 launch

6-Sep-11 4:14 PM

Bhutan is the smallest aviation market in Asia and unique in the fact that only one airline operates to/from the nation at present. Drukair (Royal Bhutan Airlines), the national carrier of Bhutan, operates only 8,120 weekly seats to/from the nation’s sole airport, Paro Airport, based on Innovata data for the week ending 11-Sep-2011. However, this is all set to change as a second carrier, Tashi Air, is planning to enter the market and new airports are opened, allowing both carriers to operate domestic services.
