Yeti Airlines Flight 691

Just 15 days into the operation of the new airport, Yeti Airlines Flight 691 inbound from Kathmandu, operating an ATR 72, went down along the Seti River between here and the old airport with all hands.

Rounded coordinates for runways

While trying to fix VNLK runway location, I noticed that lat/lon coordinates were rounded to 4 decimals which, at the equator, gives a precision of about 11meters. I would think that an extra digit or two would not hurt in terms of DB size and would greatly enhance runway localization.

Earthquake 2015

This airport is the main entry point for supplies into Nepal after the April 2015 earthquake, since the country is landlocked and there aren't any major land links. Unfortunately, news today (2015-05-03) is that the runway is starting to suffer damage from so many landings over the past week, so they've restricted it to smaller aircraft only.

Merge it

This airport should be deleted or merged with the other VNTJ. Eurocontrol says the name is "Taplejung".

Picture of

Wrong coordinate!

Longitude should be 87.66.

Taplejung Airport = Suketar Airport (VNTJ/TPJ)!

My Memories of Nepalgunj Airport.

I was a VSO volunteer in Nepal in 1979. We were based at the Agricultural Research Institute on the Airport Rd. My first view of the airport was coming into land in March onboard a UN Pilatus Porter. We touched down on the mudstrip and got out and wow the heat really hit me 40degrees. There was only the control tower which was the building and a few sheds. It was rummoured that a few planes would almost touch the barbed wire on landing. When the moonsoon rains came the airport was shut,that year was a bad year with several of our favourite teashops flooded and destroyed. How things look to have changed! Good luck Nepalgunj.

re: STOL and rotorcraft only

Reply to @david: This is not correct. I am a frequent flyer to Lukla and Twin Otter and Dornier fly to Lukla. In fact more Dornier then Twin Otter

Stuck for 24 hrs

Following an evacuation via chopper from Surke near Lukla earlier this week, I spent 24hrs at this airstrip before being evacuated by a Nepalese Army Skytruck with 13 other Australians. Not a town I would recommend for a holiday break...

About tulsipur airport

In upcoming days, Dang being an industrial area, it will be very much sophisticated to the visitors consuming their valuable time and relief from physical tiredness of hours of road driving. Thus we have to promote for the weekly three days flight to Kathmandu and indian states as Bihar, maharastra.

can't we get a closer view of the airport?

STOL and rotorcraft only

The runway is short (1,500 ft) at high elevation (over 9,000 ft), so the airport is accessible only to helicopters and to STOL aircraft like Twin Otters.

Airport to be renamed

The Nepal government plans to rename the airport in honour of Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary, the first people to climb Mt. Everest (the airport serves Everest).
