Nepal flight crash: Table-top runways are risky, India has five of them

Quick Summary:

India too has five airports with table-top runways: Shimla, Calicut, Mangalore, Lengpui (Mizoram), and Pakyong (Sikkim), according to a NDTV report.

In recent years, Nepal’s air industry has seen significant growth, transporting goods and people to remote areas, as well as serving foreign trekkers and climbers.

On May 27, 2017, a cargo plane crashed at Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Solukhumbu, which features a similar runway.
