Flying to the World's HIGHEST Airport | Daocheng 稻城亚丁 | China Southern A319

WELCOME to a Wandering Scholar production; To all my subscribers, it is my pleasure to see you back !

The Tibetan Highlands in the western part of China houses many of the world’s highest elevated regions. The extreme landscape resulted in engineering masterpieces such as the world’s highest airport located at Daocheng Yading, a county situated along the western border of the Sichuan Province.

Daocheng Airport commenced operation in 2016 at an elevation of 4411m, 14110ft. The airport operates scheduled passenger services primarily to cities within Sichuan province but also occasional flights to further inland cities. Due to its high altitude nature, many aircraft, including Airbus A220, J-20 fighter jets..etc have also visited the field to perform flight tests. All commercial aircrafts arriving in Daocheng departs immediately afterward since the airport cannot operate in the dark.

I flew a same-day return onboard the same China Southern A319 from Chongqing to witness this world record in September.
