Airplanes fly in the skies of most regions of the world, but there are regions where planes do not fly, including the Tibetan plateau, which is known as the “roof of the world” due to its high altitude.
The Tibetan Plateau, located in southwest China, is the largest plateau in the world, with an area of about 0.97 million square miles, 1,600 miles in length, and 620 miles in width.
The Tibetan Plateau consists of several mountain ranges located on the border between India, China and Nepal. The height of these mountain ranges exceeds 1,300 to 1,500 feet, or the equivalent of 4,000 to 5,000 meters, including Mount Everest, which is the highest mountain peak in the world.
There are many reasons that prevent aircraft from flying over the Tibetan Plateau, including the presence of severe and violent turbulence due to wind speeds of up to 320 kilometers per hour.
It is well known that when fast winds move through the mountains, they take the wave pattern and shape, and thus aircraft encounter severe turbulence when flying through this pattern of wind.
In addition, aircraft face the risk of fuel freezing due to the temperature dropping below minus 40 degrees Celsius, knowing that temperatures at the altitude of aircraft flying over the Tibetan Plateau can reach this rate.
