Nepalese carrier signs for five SSJ100s

New Nepalese airline Bishwo Airways has announced a tentative agreement with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Co. for five Sukhoi Superjet 100s.

A letter of intent for the aircraft was signed at the Aero India air show in Bangalore Thursday.


Kathmandu-based Bishwo is privately owned and a subsidiary of Bishwo Holdings, a diversified Nepalese investment holding company based in Singapore. At the 2014 Farnborough Airshow it ordered two Airbus 330-200s, which will initially operate mid- and long-haul services to Malaysia and the Persian Gulf. There is a large Nepalese expatriate community in the Gulf, working in the construction sector. Bishwo has plans to expand later further afield in Asia and Europe.
