'''Himalayan Aviation''' ({{lang-hi|हिमालयन एविएशन}}) was an [[airline]] based in [[India]] that operated in the northern parts of the [[Indian subcontinent]] until its nationalization and merger into [[Indian Airlines]] in 1953.

== Incidents==

* On 20 February 1950, Himalayan Aviation ran the first ever international flight from Nepal, from Gauchar (Nepal) to Calcutta (now Kolkata) (India).<ref>[http://himalaya.socanth.cam.ac.uk/collections/journals/spotlight/pdf/Spotlight_21_22.pdf COVER STORY (Spotlight Weekly), 14th Dec. 2001]</ref>
* On 7 December 1951, [[Pakistan]] detained a Himalayan Aviation flight from [[Ahmedabad]], India, to [[Kabul]], [[Afghanistan]], at the stopover point in [[Karachi]]. Pakistan had previously denied use of the direct [[Delhi]]-Kabul air-corridor that overflew the [[North-West Frontier Province (1901–1955)|North West Frontier Province]]. India and Pakistan had worked out an alternative Ahmadabad-Karachi-[[Zahedan]]([[Iran]])-Kabul route.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/2001/12/07/stories/2001120700290800.htm | title=Miscellaneous : dated 7 December 1951: Pak. halts Indian plane to Kabul | date=7 December 2001 | newspaper=[[The Hindu]] | access-date=26 July 2018 }}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref>
