Fly Yeti (Nepali: फ्लाइयति, stylized as flyyeti.com)[2] was a low-cost airline based in Kathmandu, Nepal. The airline was a joint venture between the Nepalese regional carrier Yeti Airlines and the Emirati low-cost airline Air Arabia. The airline suspended all flights from 16 July 2008, citing political uncertainty. The company slogan was Pay less, fly more.[3]
