Bangda Airport, China

From series “The Most Dangerous Runways in the World”
Lenght: 5,500 meters.

Among the dangerous airports in the world you have to mention Bangda Airport, which is located in the territory of the Chamdo district in China. It is the highest airport in the world and was built at the height of 4 334 meters above sea level. The airport offers only one runway, the length of which is 5 500 meters, to the aircraft. The local runway is one of the longest in the world. The length of the asphalted runway is random. The essential extension is a necessary measure in dilute air.

The airport is surrounded by the majestic mountain massifs. The landing in the midst of snow-capped mountain peaks, overcast, is incredibly complicated and dangerous. Modern equipment of high quality makes the airport safer and more comfortable. The comfortable length of its runway was calculated with maximum precision, and the quality of the outer layer was constantly monitored. From the height, the territory of the airport seems simply huge. During the maneuvers, the pilots can hardly be distracted from the surrounding mountain landscapes. Next - Don Muang Airport
