    About LUA Airport

    Lukla Airport (IATA: LUA) is a small mountain airstrip serving the town of Lukla in Nepal, primarily handling short-haul flights to and from Kathmandu and nearby Himalayan villages. There are no formal terminals like larger airports; operations are compact with basic passenger facilities and a single runway used by regional carriers such as Tara Air and Summit Air that focus on charter and scheduled services. Travelers use the online flight board to check arrivals and departures, and should allow extra time for weather-related delays and weight restrictions common at high-altitude airports.
