The Airbus A330 — Heart of the Museum

Our centrepiece is a decommissioned Airbus A330 — a wide-body commercial aircraft that once carried hundreds of passengers across Asia. Now it carries something far more valuable: the history of Nepal's aviation industry.

Visitors can explore the full length of the aircraft — from the rear galley through the passenger cabin to the cockpit — with informative displays at every station explaining the science, history and engineering of commercial flight.
