Before you think any negative about Lukla, let me remind u all ' the pilots are one experienced , who takes you there......... not any rookies . And if there's even slightest change in weather the whole flight's cancelled . So people it is very safe n' no need to worry.

Neplease are proud coz they able to build airport in that high altitude and landscape. it is kind of impossible to construct airport there as this place got mountain weather and surrounded by hills. many friend are worry about landing of airbus a380 and boing 757 however, this airport isnot designed for giant aircraft. only light n twin-tors planes can land and take off from this airport. the Himalayan nation Nepal got another 44 domestic airports and one of those is international airport where airbus and boing can be landed. this is of course a dangerous airport but pilots are highly experienced so crash rate is lower then 0.002% in the airport. however, some crashed happened when planes collided in hills as the weather went wrong.

This is "the gateway to Everest" only for crazy turist , for all those mountain climbers and researchers. It's also how the locals get their supplies from the city. Unfortunately there isn't much flat space in the Himalayas. Ca sa nu surzeasca vecinii acestui aeroport ar trebui sa se perminta aterizarea doar a planoarelor cu motor electric , iar decolarea planoarelor sa se faca prin tragere cu cablu nu prin remorcare ... Multi care au vizitat Nepal isi amintesc de aceasta pista care se termina pe o parte cu o prapastie , iar pista este intre case aflate la mica distanta ..

So it's a nice tarmac runway that seems fairly lengthy for the type of planes landing on it. How is this dangerous exactly? Sure there's a big drop at the end of the runway, but that won't matter since planes don't land in front of a runway, they land on top of it. So it won't matter if there's a drop or not since a plane flies right over it. The only issue I can think of is turbulence that might cause a plane to drop below the runway's altitude upon approach?

Lukla (look-laa) is a small village nestled at foothills of eastern Nepal. It's also called gateway to Mt. Everest for obvious reasons. Lukla lies in a rugged terrain. The only way there is by foot or airplanes. Interestingly, Lukla airport is one of the busiest airports in Nepal during tourist seasons and good weather. Regardless, flying to lukla is a necessity more than an adventure. Lukla and the villages in Highlands suffer a lot even if airport closes for a day. Hence, it is imperative for pilots to master the lukla airfield.

The most enjoyable departure was that Pilatus Porter at the end. An extreme STOL aircraft, he got off in less than 1/2 the runway length! Awesome. I kept seeing it parked off to the right & thought how cool it'd be to see it takeoff. Then I saw prop spinning but video was almost over. I didn't really believe I'd see it leave as most aren't as excited over a smaller, single-engine aircraft. Well, a pilot like me is way more excited over a taildragger Porter than a commuter.

MAJOR PROBLM,no matter the wind speed or direction you land into the mountain .A little fast on approach with a tailwind could make for a big wreak at the end of the paving. ALSO,a hot day would raise the density altitude . The engine power is reduced by altitude as well as the lift capability of the wing.
