The burgeoning significance of air transportation within Nepal’s economy underscored the vital necessity for streamlined coordination among the diverse array of airlines operating within the country. The genesis of the Board of Airline Representatives Nepal (BARN) can be traced back to a profound acknowledgment of the aviation industry’s pivotal role in fostering Nepal’s economic prosperity and bolstering its tourism sector.

Established in 1990 AD, BARN stands as a testament to the proactive response to this exigency, embodying the collective commitment of Nepal’s airlines to synergistically advance the standards of air transportation services and catalyze tourism growth.
