    Lukla Airport is definitely one of a kind airport surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The mountains are stunning most definitely so. Love the view, it is spectacular. ♥️♥️
    As beautiful it is, this airport is also extremely dangerous and difficult to land a plane and yet, these pilots make these landings very easy!
    Much respect for all these pilots, they do a superb job landing these planes.
    Congratulations to all of them on a job well done.
    Bravo, bravo 👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌👍👍👍🙏🙏

    I flew in and out of Lulka around Xmas 1980. The run way was just a dirt pot-holed track littered with crahed aircraft on both sides. Ripped off wings were propped up to form the boundary fence, and fuselages were used for accomodation and firewood storage. Oil streamed all the way out of one of the wings when we flew back to Kathmandu, and the internal plastic ceiling and overheads collapsed on our heads as we sped off down the runway. The locals thought nothing of it, as they just pushed it all back up again.

      Helicopters cannot glide if their engine fails. They are also significantly more complicated than fixed-wing aircraft, meaning a failure of any kind is more likely with them. This airport is also at a very high altitude, and helicopters have more difficulty getting enough lift there, which leads to more instability. It's very easy to lose a lot of altitude very suddenly, but difficult and slow to increase altitude. Helicopters can certainly be used, in fact they are used at this airport, but fixed-wing aircraft are objectively safer and more reliable here.
