There were a lot of controversies regarding the establishment of the international airport. The airports in Nepal don’t have a very good reputation.

TIA is the only international airport in Nepal. It has an elevation of 4390 Ft. AMSL. It is situated 5.6 km east of Kathmandu valley. The runway is still very small for international aircraft. Recently, the news of TIA being unmanaged and polluted, caught attention. It was restructured and managed. For now, it is in optimal condition. But still, many reformations are required in TIA.

Lukla airport is also known as Tenzin –Hilary Airport. It is situated in Khumbu, Solukhumbu district in the town Lukla. It has earned its reputation as the most dangerous airport in the world. Because of its location amidst the hills and moreover for its small runway. Lukla is placed from which people start climbing the Mount Everest.
