Named in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay - two pioneering climbers who successfully summited Mount Everest for themselves - Tenzing?Hillary serves as an everlasting reminder of their legacy.
Lukla is an increasingly popular trekker and mountaineer destination due to being the beginning point for most expeditions to Mount Everest and its environs, including Everest Base Camp. Thus it comes as no surprise that this small yet significant airport sees up to 50 flights daily during peak seasons.
Precariously located on a steep slope at an elevation of 2,845 meters (9,334 feet), this airport presents pilots with both unique challenges and dangers when taking off or landing an aircraft at its high altitude. Pilots need to execute precise maneuvers during both takeoff and landing for takeoff to be successful at this airport.
Therefore, Lukla Airport has been named one of the world's most dangerous airports due to its precarious location and complex runway, both of which have caused multiple fatal accidents over time.
