The story
BB Airways received its Air Operator Certificate on 12 April 2012 allowing operations to seven international destinations from Nepal: Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Doha, Delhi and Tokyo. It started scheduled services from October 2012, but had to cease operations again several months later, as the leasing contract ran out.
In April 2013, the airline tried to restart its scheduled services by leasing two Airbus A320s. On 30 March 2014, while still operating no active aircraft, BB Airways signed a Memorandum of Understanding with MEGA Maldives Airlines in which the two carriers agreed to "collaborate on developing flights and sharing of resources".
In 2017, BB Airways purchased a three decades old Boeing 757 from Nepal Airlines, with which it was planning to use to restart operations on the route Kathmandu-New Delhi. However, the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal abstained from issuing an Air operator's certificate arguing that it would take at least one and half year to get a permit to restart its flight operation.
In July 2019, the airline sold their sole Boeing 757.
In 2024, news surfaced that the airline was trying to restart operations.
