Why Not A Single Plane Dares To FLY OVER TIBET? #shorts
231,107Airplanes usually do not fly directly over Tibet because it is one of the highest and most difficult regions in the world for aviation. The land in Tibet lies on a high plateau with the Himalayas running across it. This includes Mount Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth. Because the ground is already so high, there is very little space between the mountains and the normal flying height of airplanes.
If a plane were to lose cabin pressure, it would need to descend quickly to a lower altitude where passengers can breathe safely. Over Tibet, that would not be possible because the terrain is too high and uneven. There are also very few airports or flat areas for an emergency landing, which makes it risky for airlines to plan routes over the region.
The weather in Tibet is another challenge. Strong winds, heavy turbulence, and sudden storms are common near the Himalayas. These conditions make flying uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. The thin air at high altitudes can also affect how jet engines perform, especially during emergencies.
On top of that, Tibet has limited air traffic control and radar coverage. This makes it harder for pilots to stay in contact with ground control or get help if something goes wrong.
Because of all these factors, airlines choose safer and smoother routes that go around Tibet instead. Flying slightly longer routes over India or China’s lower regions is more practical and much safer for passengers and crew.
