Only light turboprops — operated by carriers such as Tara Air — serve it, linking the town to Biratnagar and Kathmandu. The airfield exists chiefly for trekkers heading to the Kangchenjunga base camp, and it handles no meaningful freight. Cargo for the district moves through Kathmandu (KTM) and continues by road.","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/airports/taplejung-airport-tpj","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/airports/en/taplejung-airport-tpj","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Taplejung Airport · (IATA: TPJ) · Taplejung, NP · 2435 m"}
