Quito - Aeropuerto Internacional Mariscal Sucre

Breathtaking, as it is on 2800m above sea level

But unfortunately in the south hemisphere .

What might make it slightly breathtaking, especially for an old man like me ?

Large, female only, retirement homes?

Don't know if they got large retirement homes, but are you looking for Hangzou Xiaoshan airport in China?

**brianw999** · 2010-12-17, 16:14

No but China is much, MUCH closer.

Got the altitude bit right....almost 4,400 feet high.

The first place I thought of when you said "breath taking for an old man like me" was..... Kathmandu Tribhuvan! And it looks like I am probably right....... Since Arkefly is the only one that flys to Europe, in this case Amsterdam, and its 4,390 FASL.

I looked at that airport earlier. But they don't have 37 airlines.

**KGEG** · 2010-12-17, 21:33

Ah, I forgot to take that into consideration. Although its close at 34.

**brianw999** · 2010-12-18, 02:23

Kathmandu Tribhuvan it is.

(where did I mention 37 airlines ??? I said lots of airlines )

KGEG...over to you.

**KGEG** · 2010-12-18, 02:30

One airline serves it, it offers 5 destinations. The runway is 3,900 feet long.

Somewhere in Asia i Believe?

EDIT
Nevermind, It's Unalaska Airport.
Served by PenAir (Akutan, Anchorage, Cold Bay, Nikolski, Sand Point)

**KGEG** · 2010-12-18, 18:08

I had a good feeling someone would get it on the first try, good job.

**ced ampo** · 2010-12-19, 01:24
