A Turkish Airlines plane that crash landed at Kathmandu airport two years ago will be welcoming ticket holders on-board again – not for a flight, but as the Nepali capital’s first aviation museum.
The museum has been built using a decommissioned Airbus A330 aircraft belonging to Turkish Airlines, which crash landed on Tribhuvan International Airport in March 2015. The crash closed Nepal’s only international airport for four days.

The main aim of this aviation museum is to educate and to inspire young Nepali to join the aviation sector. The museum’s goal is to provide information about the history of aviation, create awareness about the challenges and opportunities in the aviation sector. It is also aiming to be a tourist destination. There are more than 350 miniature models of aircrafts inside the museum from the Wright Brother’s first aircrafts to fighter planes from World War I and II.
