L'aéroport de Lukla ( 2862 m ) connu sous le nom d’aéroport Tenzing-Hillary, est un altiport desservant la localité de Lukla au Népal. Il comporte une piste d'environ 500 mètres en pente de 12°, rendant les atterrissages particulièrement difficiles. L'aéroport dessert principalement le camp de base du mont Everest. Depuis 2001, la piste est asphaltée ce qui améliore la sécurité des vols.
En 2008, l'aéroport est renommé en l'honneur d'Edmund Hillary et du Sherpa Tensing Norgay, premières personnes à avoir gravi l'Everest.

Taken from a helicopter just before landing, this picture provides a glimpse of the breathtaking approach to the renowned Tenzing-Hillary Airport, known as Lukla Airport. Nestled among the majestic Himalayan peaks, this airport has gained a reputation as the most dangerous in the region, not only for fixed-wing aircraft but also for helicopters. The runway appears remarkably short and steep, seemingly carved into the rugged mountainside. The airport's notoriety for danger arises from its unique geographical location and unpredictable weather conditions, posing challenges for helicopter operations as well. With a short runway, inclined slope, and minimal room for error during takeoff and landing, it presents an immense challenge for pilots of both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. The high altitude and unpredictable mountain winds at Lukla further contribute to its nerve-wracking reputation, requiring skilled pilots to navigate these complexities with precision - Lukla Airport, Himalayas, Nepal

Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, Nepal. The airport is popular because Lukla is the place where most people start the climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. There are daily flights between Lukla and Kathmandu during daylight hours in good weather. High winds, cloud cover, and changing visibility often mean flights can be delayed or the airport closed. Elevation is 9,334 ft (2,845 m) and there is high terrain immediately beyond the northern end of the runway and a steeply angled drop at the southern end of the runway into the valley below.

The snap was taken by a fellow trekker, there is a fellow guide from Nepal and after Namche bazar, we are close to Kyumjhung, 3660 m.
Enjoy.
Lukla Air Port in 1999. Before it was paved. The airport is now officially named Tenzing-Hillary Airport (since jan 2008).
Two weeks ago I arrived by plane at Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Lukla, landing on quite possibly the world's shortest runway. This 10 second Hyperlapse clip captures the experience.
A memorable flight in a small aircraft with some great views and exhilarating sights plus a brief but unforgettable landing. The runway is short! Very! So the drop is quick and sudden. Hold on tight, and enjoy! Amazing + scary (at times, especially when flying between cloudy peaks and hearing the proximity alarm bleeping). Pilot did well. For some details of the airport check en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenzing-Hillary_Airport For most visitors this is where you arrive / depart.

The Tenzing-Hillary Airport, in Lukla is said to be the world's most dangerous airport. The short runway seems more like a ski jump.

2008年1月，尼泊尔政府宣布，为了纪念于2008年1月11日逝世的埃德蒙.希拉里（Edmund Hillary）——登顶珠穆朗玛峰的第一人
卢卡拉机场冠有“世界屋脊上的跑道”称号，位于海拔2860米，机场跑道位于半山腰的一个悬崖上，跑道呈L型，高山在跑道一头，700米的深渊在另一头，跑道只有475米长！机场跑道短而且是倾斜向下的，这样飞机降落时有助于减速，起飞时有助于加速，因为卢卡拉机场的跑道也许是全世界最短的了，飞机降落时要用尽马力才刚好在防撞栏前停下，否则就只有撞机了，所以卢卡拉机场号称世界上最危险的机场。跑道尽头是峭壁，单向起降，由于地形特殊，跑道与山谷走向近于垂直，悬崖落差将近700米，所以机场常年侧风。飞机着陆时，靠上坡减速；飞机起飞时候，顺着下坡加速，直到冲出悬崖，这时飞机也算是起飞了，没有起飞，就只有坠崖了。
