A day at one of the worlds most Challenging airports, 4K Planespotting at Lukla Tenzing Hillary
This video includes 20 minutes of incredible action at Lukla Tenzing Hillary Airport from a recent trip to Asia
Filmed freehand using a 4K Sony AX53 video camera
The airport is situated 9500ft above sea level in the Himalayas. With a very short runway in the mountainous terrain it makes for a very challenging arrival, pilots have to perfect this as there is no room for a go around, the angle of the runway provides a fun watch!
Lukla airport is the gateway for mountain hikers who begin their trek to Mount Everest, the tallest in the world so it attracts many visitors!
All flights in this video are to/from Kathmandu as it was the quiet season with only a few flights per day, I included my arrival and departure from onboard to show you how it looks from inside
Summit Air L410, Tara Air DHC-6 twin otter and Sita Dornier 228 and helicopters are the aircraft that come in and out of here constantly
I will try and come back here in the high season where there is up to 40 flights per day!
Luckily the weather was perfect and provides a stunning view but when the weather is poor or dark arrivals are not permitted as it’s just too dangerous
Not many titles so you can enjoy the fun arrivals and departures
