Takeoff from world's most dangerous airport: Bhutan Airlines A319 Business Class (Paro to Delhi)

Join me on this flight in Business Class onboard a Bhutan Airlines Airbus A319 from Paro (Bhutan) to New Delhi (India). Considered the world's most dangerous airport, Paro is nestled in a deep valley and surrounded by sharp Himalayan peaks of up to 5,500 m (18,000 ft) tall.

I think it's the most charming airport I've seen. No glamour for people with big ego's. But I see very gentle people, nice colors and traditional design. I love it.

[@ziauddinkhan5699]

The sheer magnificence of the Himalayas is staggering. Beauty with a truly fearsome hostile environment. You feel humbled when you realize the bravery and determination of the humans who have reached it's peaks.

[@parimal7528]

That's why the cult followers could never capture that & hence remains pure today.

Ziauddin Khan - Well said! In fact, many of the peaks have still not been conquered by man, and many lives have been lost in pursuit of those that have been "conquered".

Loved the background music when the snow-capped Himalayas were in view. Beautiful, majestic, & frightening all at the same time, like rows upon rows of serrated shark’s teeth. Perhaps someday I’d get to see them.

Them engines cannot skip a beat during take off , full throttle for quite a while ! Very intense .

[@AEvans36963]

The Himalayan views were absolutely stunning.

[@hkdiva2015]

Let's be honest, Paro Int'l Airport isn't exactly an international grade hub with international grade facilities nor does it intend to be due to the geographical features in Bhutan and its constitution, which mandates a minimum of 60% of their land covered in forest (currently standing at 72%). Of course the nation is doing this to protect their culture and preserve what the people cherish, that's because globalisation has a notorious reputation of affecting the nation and the culture.

[@superjoshi6654]

[@pinmode]

Possibly the most interesting, informative, and breathtaking air travel video currently on KZbin with the emphasis on what's going on outside of the airplane and the theory behind the trip and the video itself. The information in the captions is first class, the scenery is spectacular, and the sound and video quality is excellent. The air terminal at Paro reminds me of the old Tocumen airport in PTY back in the '70's. My compliments on one of the most substantive and succinct travel videos I've ever seen.

That pilot GREASED that landing in New Delhi ! 👍🏼 And usually any music added is annoying, but this time it was actually appropriate. The Himalayas deserve dramatic and grand music. 😎

[@petermorgan7057]

This take off looks (relatively) straightforward because everything is visible. I took a similar flight two weeks earlier when the cloud covered the tops of all the mountains around Paro when the pilots had to bank very steeply - and that's when it becomes very challenging. No ground radar for support, no visibility for the top of the mountains.

Wrong route for view. You end up South Eastern side rather than North Western where real beauty is. You will find nice views even if you take Guwahati to New Delhi flight.
