Pathao Nepal launches helicopter booking service

Pathao Nepal, known for its ride-sharing services, is expanding its super app by introducing helicopter bookings through a new service called "Pathao Heli." This initiative, a collaboration with Simrik Airlines, allows users to book helicopter rides directly via the Pathao mobile application or its website, PathaoHeli.com. The company stated that the helicopter service will cater to a variety of needs, including pilgrimages to religious sites like Muktinath and Gosainkunda, scenic tours to Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp, and trips for newlyweds or groups of friends. Each helicopter can accommodate four to five passengers. Pathao Nepal's managing director, Yashu Thakali, emphasized the company's commitment to growing Nepal's digital economy. "Our goal is to grow Nepal’s digital economy," Thakali said. "We are moving forward by integrating mobility, parcel delivery, food delivery and e-commerce into a single platform." This expansion marks a significant step for Pathao Nepal, which has evolved from a simple ride-sharing platform to a comprehensive super app offering parcel delivery, food delivery, and home services, now extending to air travel bookings.
