Yongphulla Airport

A domestic airport in Trashigang district in eastern Bhutan (ICAO: VQTY), located at an elevation of approximately 2,743 m on a ridgeline above Kanglung. Built to improve connectivity to Bhutan's remote eastern region, the airport has a 1,200 m runway that has proven challenging for operations due to strong crosswinds, fog, and terrain obstacles. Regular commercial flights have been intermittent, with Druk Air operating small aircraft on the Paro-Yongphulla route when weather conditions permit.
