@thesmartlocalth: In celebration of Coronation Day 2025, the TSL Thailand team is honoured to share remarkable footage showcasing the exceptional abilities of Their Majesties the King and Queen, who personally piloted the royal aircraft during their official visit to the Kingdom of Bhutan from 25 to 28 April 2025. His Majesty served as the primary pilot, with Her Majesty as co-pilot. . Paro International Airport is situated in a deep valley at an altitude of 2,235 metres above sea level, surrounded by towering peaks rising to 5,500 metres. It is widely regarded as one of the most challenging airports in the world for take-offs and landings. The approach demands precise navigation through narrow mountain passes, and the absence of radar assistance further complicates the landing process. . Due to these extreme conditions, only around 50 pilots worldwide are certified to land at Paro. Some reports suggest the number may be even lower, with estimates ranging from just 8 to 24 pilots globally. . #TSLTHWUT #WUT #News #ThaiRoyalFamily

Let me remind the rest of the world that no other head of states does this. You don’t need to agree with Thailand’s national policies but this is an absolute class act

You may think them flying their own plane is cool on its own, but they flew it out of Paro Airport. It’s arguably the most challenging airport on earth that large airliners fly into.

The minute they step into the cockpit and start the flying process they are not King and Queen, they are Captain and First officer

Landing the aircraft in Bhutan is extremely impressive. Not an easy approach at all.

Only a handful of pilots are qualified to land into Bhutan airport - you need a special license for that. The runway is literally in between mountains and it needs some extremely difficult maneuver.
