The world’s most difficult runway to land
Passengers flying to this part of the world might want to consider a stiff drink before their flight.
Sitting 1.5 miles above sea level and surrounded by sharp, mountainous peaks that are up to 18,000 feet tall, Bhutan’s Paro Airport is considered one of the most difficult airports in the world to land in.
In the video above we watch a plane making its descent from the perspective of the cockpit.
The footage is a little shaky, but really gives you a sense of the skill of the pilots.
Oh, and if you would like to skip straight to the landing, fast forward to minute six.
