The airport is a hub for two international airlines—the flag carrier Nepal Airlines and Himalaya Airlines, along with multiple other domestic carriers. The airport is considered as a starting point for Mount Everest international tourists, with several daily flights to Lukla. Several airlines also offer Everest sightseeing flights from Kathmandu.

Due to heavy traffic congestion, winter fog and the airport running at capacity, the Government of Nepal

promoted Gautam Buddha International Airport and Pokhara International Airport as alternative airports in case of necessary diversions.
