Looks like Druk Air received some competition.  :D

On the planes being suitable for the airport, I just saw an ATR pilot writing about some 300fpm climb rate with one engine gone (at lower altitude airports I guess). Certainly not something I wanted to end up with at Paro. And that's with the planes like the ATR being a regular at such airports.

Pilots live dangerous lives.  :o

With Lou now making the 747 work at Paro, the next question is if the airport could serve as a Space Shuttle landing site.  8-)
