The Tibetan Plateau, known as the “Roof of the World,” poses significant challenges for aviation due to its extreme altitude, harsh weather, and rugged terrain. Thin air affects engine performance, and unpredictable conditions increase the risk of turbulence. The high mountains and lack of emergency landing sites add further danger. Limited infrastructure and geopolitical tensions complicate flight planning. Despite technological advancements, these risks make it safer for airlines to avoid flying over this challenging region.
