[Apr.25] Canadian Xpress April Fly-In - Paro, Bhutan

[Marc Wheeler]

This month we are visiting one of the most remote and challenging international airports in the world.

Paro International Airport is the sole international airport of the four airports in Bhutan. It is 6 km from Paro in a deep valley on the bank of the river Paro Chhu. With surrounding peaks as high as 18,000 ft, it is considered one of the world's most challenging airports, and less than two dozen pilots are certified to land at this airport.

Flights to and from Paro are allowed under visual meteorological conditions only and are restricted to daylight hours from sunrise to sunset. Paro airport was the only airport in Bhutan until 2011. Paro Airport is accessible by road, 6 km from Paro city, and 54 km from Thimphu by Paro-Thimphu road.

Canadian Xpress would like to invite all pilots to join us on Saturday, April 25th between 10h00edt (14h00z) & 13h00edt (17h00z) and between 21h00edt (Sunday 01h00z) & 24h00edt (Sunday 04h00z) for our April 2020 fly-in where we will fly Indira Gandhi (VIDP) to Paro (VQPR).
