The award for the world's most dangerous airport goes to...the Lukla airport at the gateway to Mount Everest! Here, passengers celebrate every safe landing...lol!


At an altitude of 2,843 meters (9,325 feet), the small airstrip has earned a reputation as one of the most extreme and dangerous airports in the world. The single runway is narrow, short and sloped. Miss the runway by a few meters (or feet) and the plane would hit a mountain.
"After you cross the river there is no turning back, you have to land," said Pramod Poudel, a Tara Air pilot who has flown hundreds of these flights to Lukla. Because there is no way to go around again, we have to calculate many things like air speed, tail wind, fog," he said. "If you don't do the proper calculation or proper exercise, then it" — meaning an accident — "happens."

In 2004 and 2008, 3 and 18 people were killed respectively in an accident at the airport, same in August 2010 (14 people).One plane was unable to stop on the short runway and smashed into a wall. Another skidded off the runway. A third lost its front landing gear as it tried to land and skidded down the runway, forcing the airport to shut for two days. No one was killed in those crashes.

Well, seems like the airport would be an interesting place you may want to consider for the next sight-seeing. And really, it is fast becoming a tourist zone...I'd encourage you to visit *winks* but please don't go there with a plane!
