Why do almost all airplanes avoid flying over this zone?<br />This zone is massive—over five times the size of France.<br />If we look at a flight radar, we can see an extensive area completely empty of airplanes.<br />This is the Tibetan Plateau.<br /><br />There are three main reasons why planes don't fly here.<br /><br />Firstly, Tibet is the highest plateau in the world, with an average elevation of about 14,800 feet.<br />It is home to some of the tallest mountains on the planet, including Mount Everest.<br />Commercial aircraft usually fly at an altitude of around 33,000 feet.<br />But, in case of an emergency—like cabin depressurization—they need to quickly descend to 10,000 feet.<br />This is almost impossible in Tibet, because of its extreme elevation.<br /><br />Secondly, the weather conditions in Tibet are often highly unpredictable.<br />Strong winds, turbulence, and sudden weather changes make flying over this region dangerous and challenging.<br /><br />Finally, the third reason is the lack of sufficient airports for emergency landings.<br />There are only five airports in Tibet, which makes flights over this area extremely risky.<br /><br /><br />#tibet <br />#noflyzone <br />#facts <br />#TibetanPlateau <br />#WhyPlanesDontFlyOverTibet <br />#MountEverest <br />#GeographyFacts <br />#FlightRadar <br />#UniqueGeography <br />#Himalayas <br />#PlanesAndPlaces <br />#ChinaBorders <br />#LearningWithMaps <br />#GeographyGeeks <br />#InterestingPlaces <br /><br />Thank you for being part of this journey!<br /><br />Follow me on <br />YouTube:- Earthly Encounters<br />https://youtube.com/@earthlyencounters219?si=5Zg63Q-yXm-9p7-Q<br /><br />Instagram:- @earthlyencounters9<br />https://www.instagram.com/earthlyencounters9/<br /><br />Facebook:- @Earthly Encounters<br />https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089656674720<br /><br />X:- @EarthlyEncount1<br />https://x.com/EarthlyEncount1<br /><br />♡ ∩_∩ <br /> („• ֊ •„)♡<br />|￣U U￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣|<br />| LIKE & SUBSCRIBE ♡ |
