Lengpui Airport — Aizawl (Lengpui), India

Lengpui Airport, serving Aizawl, the capital of India's Mizoram state, depends on a lone runway, set at 1,398 feet above sea level from the town of Lengpui, built on one of the few relatively flat stretches available in this hilly northeastern Indian state. Mizoram sits in India's far northeast, bordered by Myanmar and Bangladesh, in a mountainous region where road connections to the rest of India can be long and difficult. Kolkata, Guwahati, and other major Indian cities become far more reachable through this field than the mountain roads through this remote corner of the country would otherwise allow.
