Lukla - Mount Everest Extreme (FSX)

'Gateway to Mount Everest' and 'World's Most Dangerous Airport' are certainly the most commonly used attributes for Lukla – an airport that seems out of this world. But it's not only about Lukla; there's much more to this package...

Truth be told, there are airports that are higher (see Tingri included in this package). There may be airports that have a shorter runway. There even may be airstrips somewhere that have an even worse upward slope of the runway. Or others that have a mountain wall at the end of its runway. What makes Lukla stand out is a combination of all those factors in one single airport!

Not enough of a thrill for you? Count in the weather as a factor. No navigational aids. Limited documentation of approach and take-off routes. An uncontrolled airspace with fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

This package will replace "Lukla X – Mount Everest" by the same lead developer. One of our most popular sceneries of the past decade that has won many awards – among them the Simflight Award. This new version is a completely new development setting the bar even higher again, coming with much more content than the previous version.
