According to the authority, Pokhara International Airport is in the second position of the airport with the highest income.

This airport has earned 349 million 300 thousand rupees. Since international flights could not resume at this airport, the income has improved due to the increase in the number of domestic flights.

Gautam Buddha International Airport is in the third place. The annual income of this airport is 211 million 300 thousand rupees. Biratnagar Airport is on the fourth place. The income of this airport is equal to 175.6 million rupees.
