Airport Paro in Bhutan from Druk Air

Airport Paro in Bhutan from Druk Air
The airline of Bhutan is called "Druk Air" (the dragon airline). Druk (the dragon) is the national symbol of Bhutan.

The National Flag is rectangular and divided diagonally into two parts with a white dragon in the middle. The upper yellow half signifies the country’s secular authority of the King in fruitful action in the affairs of religion and state. The lower saffron orange half signifies the religious practice and spiritual power of Buddhism manifested in the Drukpa Kagyu and Nyingmapa traditions. The Dragon symbolizes the name of the country, locally known as Druk Yul meaning the land of Thunder Dragon and its white colour signifies purity and loyalty of the Bhutanese people.
