Druk Air flies to and from Delhi, Kathmandu, Bangkok, and Calcutta. The airline has recently introduced two Airbus 319s designed for operation on Paro’s short and high runway and seating 114 passengers, in addition to the existing two 72-seat BAe 146-100 four engine jet aircraft.

See the Druk Air website for flight schedules and other useful information.

Blue Poppy will make your Druk Air bookings for you. Please note however that flight schedules are prone to change depending on the season and weather, so it is advisable to allow an overnight stay before any onward international connections. It also helps if you can buy flexible tickets for your international flights.

Passengers in Executive Class (J class) are entitled to a maximum of 30 kg, and those in Economy Class (Y class) are entitled to a maximum of 20 kg.

All Druk Air passengers will be required to fill in a customs form to be handed over to custom officers upon arrival. Passengers are asked to declare electronic items such as still photography cameras, video cameras, computers and other personal electronic equipment on arrival, and these items are usually checked upon departure.  Blue Poppy Tours and Treks will be available to assist you on arrival with any problems you may encounter in clearing customs.

The export and import of religious artefacts and antiques, and plants or animal products, especially those of endangered species, is strictly prohibited. Import and export of arms, ammunitions, explosives and other military stores are not allowed, nor are narcotics, or drugs unless they are medically prescribed.

We suggest you consult us if purchasing old and used items in Bhutan, since custom rules do not allow these to be taken out of the country if they have not been certified as non-antique goods. Imports of plants, soils, etc., are subject to quarantine regulations, and must be cleared on arrival.
