I've never been to this airport. But based on the scenery in videos, I do not understand why planes need to zig zag while landing. Can you not do a straight approach but with a steeper glide path? Unnecessary zig zagging through mountains will, of course, make it riskier.
Cool clip!!! 😎👍
thanks, bro!
Paro landing. Unbelievable skill.
Yes! it is considered one of the world's most challenging airports, and fewer than two dozen pilots are certified to land at the airport.
Paro is really challenging airport and only two dozen pilots could land here! Its amazing!

I think this zigzag before landing is the only way to land a plane at this airport. The mountains are too high.
