At Drukair, the safety and security of our customers and employees is our top priority.

Our Safety Management System (SMS) and Risk Management System further underscore our commitment to safety.

We strive to offer the best fares available for your chosen date, flight, and class of service. You can find our lowest fares on our website, social media, or by contacting our ticket counters, city offices, or toll-free number (1300). All fares are displayed with full transparency.

  • Boarding gate announcements.

We are committed to providing a convenient and respectful service for all passengers, including those with disabilities, unaccompanied minors, or special needs.

In the event of a lengthy delay, we will make every effort to meet your essential needs, including providing snacks, drinking water, restroom facilities, and medical attention if needed. We will update passengers every 30 minutes regarding the delay status.

In cases of overbooking, we will first seek volunteers to give up their seats. Priority will be given to passengers with urgent travel needs, such as medical patients. If necessary, we will arrange alternative flights to ensure you reach your destination as soon as possible.
