About Starlight Express

Nepal's most experienced air cargo GSSA — connecting the world's airlines to Nepal's trade since 1995

Three Decades at the Heart of Nepal's Air Cargo Industry

Founded in April 1995, Starlight Express Pvt. Ltd. has grown from Nepal's pioneering freight forwarding company into the country's foremost General Sales & Service Agent (GSSA) for international airlines. Our singular focus today is delivering exceptional air cargo GSSA services — representing the world's leading carriers in Nepal with professionalism, integrity, and measurable results.

As a GSSA, we act as the full commercial and operational arm of our airline partners in Nepal. We manage cargo sales, reservations, customer relationships, regulatory compliance, and marketing — enabling airlines to maximise their cargo revenue from Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) without the cost and complexity of a direct office.

Our partnership with Kales Airline Services — one of the world's most respected GSSA networks — brings global expertise, technology, and best practices to our Nepal operations, placing us in a unique position to serve both our airline principals and Nepal's freight community.
