Qamdo Bamda Airport is built in the rural area of Bamda and is separated by 126 kms from Qamdo county in Tibet. It bears the title of the 2nd highest built airport in the world as well as the longest runway globally, which is necessitated by altitude-induced engine limitations. Getting to Qamdo takes 3 hours via Highway 214. The airport welcomes Air China, China Southern and Tibet Airlines from Chengdu, Chongqing, Lhasa, Tianjin and Xi’an.
