According to meteorological data,there are just 100 days overall with suitable weather to operate to the airport each year.
The first landing of a commercial aircraft was made by an Air China Boeing 757 without passengers on July 12,2006. Six weeks later the first commercial flight with passengers was made to the airport. The airport uses a required navigation performance (RNP) approach procedure to provide instrument approach guidance through surrounding valleys to the vicinity of the runway threshold.
