Nepal Airlines Apologises for Showing Jammu and Kashmir as Part of Pakistan in ‘Network Map’

Nepal Airlines said it removed the post immediately and opened an internal review after users accused it of showing Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan.

  • On Thursday, April 30, 2026, Nepal Airlines issued a public apology for an inaccurate network map that depicted Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan, triggering widespread social media backlash.
  • The controversy began after the carrier shared a "network map" on official social media accounts, where users quickly identified the erroneous international boundaries displayed.
  • Actor-Singer Khesari Lal Yadav questioned the airline's intent on X, writing, "Can anyone tell me what prompted Nepal Airlines to tamper with India's map like this?" Users also called for boycotts and urged India's Ministry of External Affairs to intervene.
  • The airline deleted the post and initiated an internal review to prevent future errors while continuing expansion plans to increase flight frequency between Kathmandu and Delhi.
  • Observers note that these tensions arise during a delicate time in India-Nepal relations, as some political elements in Nepal have adopted an increasingly critical tone toward India.
