Douglas DC-3 Dakota
28-seater Dakota, NAC‘s very first aircraft, has become an icon of Nepal‘s aviation history. In many parts of the Kingdom, the people‘s initial encounter with the modern world was the DC-3, long before the cars got here. The last of these planes flew into the sunset in 1973.

And suddenly, far-flung villages and remote trail-heads were only minutes away.

Boeing 727
The nation became the proud possessor of a jet plane carrier with the induction of a Boeing 727 in 1972.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2023-03-04, version 1.0.0*

I don't know what can make use of this app. I tried checking status of my flight, can't even do that, forget about managing a reservation or getting boarding pass. You can not even do any booking.
