Tibet Nyingchi Milin Airport-East Gateway Airport of Tibet

Nyingchi Airport, the third civil airport in Tibet welcomes its maiden flight, a Boeing 757, at 9:00 am September 1, marking the aviation launch of the airport.

Circled alps, narrow aviation route and changeable weather cause a top difficulty for the flight of Nyingchi ariport lying in the valley of Yarlung Zangbo River in southeast Qinghai-Tibet plateau.

"In the past, if you want to go to Nyingchi, you should fly to Lhasa first, and then took 6-hour bus trip to Nyingchi. And now, it's so easy by air. And I haven't feel sick from altitude pressure." said Mr. Mou, a tourist on the maiden flight to Nyingchi.

The construction of Nyingchi Airport started in October 2003, with a total investment of 780 million yuan (about 86.6 million US dollars). The airport is designed with a capacity of 120,000 people till 2010.
