Nagqu Dagring Airport (那曲达仁机场) is an airport scheduled for construction near Nagqu in the Nagqu Prefecture of Tibet.[1] When completed in 2014 it will be the highest airport in the world at 4,436 m (14,554 ft), replacing Qamdo Bangda Airport (also in Tibet) as the highest.[2] Construction will begin in 2011 and is scheduled to take three years. The airport is part of a Chinese government development scheme to build 97 airports across China by 2020. By then, the authorities hope that four-fifths of China's population will be within a 90-minute drive of an airport.[1]
