Lukla airport, the most dangerous and extreme airport in the world
News24xx.com - Lukla Airport, also known as Tenzing-Hillary Airport, is the most dangerous and extreme airport in the world. It is called Tenzing-Hillary Airport to honor the first person who was able to get to the top of Mount Everest in Himalaya.
This airport is located in Lukla Town, Solukhumbu District, East Nepal. Lukla Airport becomes popular because it is the first point for climbers who want to climb Mount Everest.
Lukla Airport is surrounded by high canyons. The area has little oxygen and changing temperature. Furthermore, the runway is small and sloping, making it dubbed as the most extreme airport in the world by History Channel.
The weather around the Lukla Airport is also very extreme, with strong wind and clouds that block the view sometimes forcing some flights to be postponed. The airport is protected by fences that are guarded by Nepal police. Lukla Airport is also the smallest and highest airport in the world.
It is located on 2700 meters above sea level, with runway as long as 450 meters and as wide as 20 meters. In addition, the airport does not have landing aid called Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS).
That is why any pilot who lands or departs from this airport must be very careful or they risk falling into a valley.
Although this airport is really extreme, many climbers use it as the starting point to go to Mount Everest.
