Danfe (Scientific name: Lophophorus impejanus) is the national bird of Nepal and the name aptly suits an airline dedicated to the service connecting the cities within Nepal and international destinations.
The story of Danfe Airlines begins in the picturesque city of Evenes, Norway, where the two founders first crossed paths in 2012. Both were on an aircraft sales and maintenance mission for Makalu Air of Nepal.
Drawn together by their shared passion for the aviation industry and a common dream of enhancing air travel in Nepal, they quickly realized that their combined skills and vision could make a significant disruption on the industry. Despite their diverse backgrounds, one with expertise in airline maintenance and the other in aviation management, their friendship and professional collaboration grew stronger over the years, setting the foundation for what would eventually become Danfé Airlines.
Fast forward to 2023, after years of careful planning and collaboration, the founders seized a golden opportunity to acquire Makalu Air, a small carrier in Nepal. This acquisition marked a significant milestone in their journey, allowing them to rebrand and expand the airline under the new name, Danfé Airlines.
Under the new management team, the airline intends to introduce five (5) ATR 72-212A series aircrafts and operate in the trunk routes within Nepal and to neighboring countries.
Danfé Airlines will be operated in a professional manner with new service features and boutique passenger experience keeping in mind top customer service with a priority given to safety and on time performance.
