## Description

Bathpalathang (BUT/VQBT) in Bhutan's Bumthang valley serves the country's domestic network at about 2,590 metres, with Drukair linking Jakar and Paro. A short runway and visual-flight operations in high mountain terrain restrict traffic to small turboprops; there is no cargo terminal, freighter service or customs post, so freight relevance stays limited. Imports and exports for Bhutan run through Paro (PBH) or, more commonly, by road via Phuentsholing and the Indian airport at Kolkata (CCU).
