History


The airport was opened in October 1976[2] and later[when?] broadened by Sir Edmund Hillary to accommodate DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft.[4] The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal shut down the airport in 2013 in order to pave the runway.[5] The airport reopened one year later with a full blacktopped runway.[3]


Facilities


The airport resides at an elevation of 7,918 feet (2,413 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway which is 671 metres (2,201 ft) in length.[1]

As the airport lies within the approach of Lukla Airport, flights en route to Lukla often get diverted to Phaplu Airport.[6]
