Dream - Tenzing-Hillary. This is the airport dubbed as the 'most deadly airport in the world'. Located in Lukla, Nepal.
Not without reason, the nickname is attached to the airport located near Mount Everest because a series of accidents resulting in death have occurred.
One of the strange accidents that occurred at Tenzing-Hillary Airport is a plane crashing into a parked helicopter on the runway. Tenzing-Hillary Airport has been the site of various collisions over the years, most of which have been fatal. In April 2019, three people died when a Summit Air Otter plane crashed into a helicopter at the airport, which serves as the gateway to Everest.
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is as follows: "The small aircraft pilot and two airport security guards were killed in the tragic incident. The aircraft collided with a stationary Manang Air helicopter during takeoff at around nine o'clock in the morning local time. The privately operated aircraft had three crew members but no passengers. The aircraft crashed onto the helicopter, with debris scattered everywhere."
This airport was renamed in 2008. Its name was taken from the first conquerors of Mount Everest, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags would be: "The width of this airport is 20 meters with a length of 550 meters. The runway is located on a hill slope with an angle of approximately 11 degrees and was built using funds from Hillary's Himalayan Trust."
The fast-moving weather patterns often disrupt the operations of small airports located at an altitude of 2,757 meters above sea level.
A total of 18 people died at the airport in 2008 when a Jet Yetti Airlines plane crashed while landing. The plane, flying from the capital Kathmandu to Lukla, was reported to have caught fire after making an emergency landing near a sloping runway during thick fog. Out of the 19 people on board, 14 were foreigners and five were Nepali nationals, including the pilot who survived.
"There are 12 German citizens and two Australian citizens on the flight."
The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags is: "the airport official Mohan Adhikari said at that time."
Security personnel and volunteers took two hours to extinguish the fire in the wreckage of the plane. Hundreds of tourists and residents from Lukla, located 140 kilometers northeast of Kathmandu, witnessed the rescue operation. Many of them were crying. "I saw the plane start to descend, then the clouds came and we heard a loud noise and saw fire," said a tour manager, Bijaya Pratap Singha. "We ran to the end of the runway and saw everything scattered and the plane on fire," he added.
Local officials told reporters that the accident was caused by thick clouds. On clear weather, dozens of flights land every day. Flights from Kathmandu to Lukla take an additional half an hour. Source: DailyStar.
