Operator Questions: Bhutan

What types of aircraft do operators have in Bhutan?
Local companies have Pilatus PC-24, Airbus Helicopters H130T2, and Airbus Helicopters H125 aircraft in their fleets. We select the specific aircraft for the task from this fleet and from aircraft in neighboring countries.
Why look at the operator's AOC?
An air operator certificate (AOC) is issued by the aviation authorities of the country of registration and defines flight regulations, crew requirements, and dispute resolution procedures. Flights are always operated by the operator, not the broker, so their approvals are verified before a booking is confirmed.
