Louang Namtha Airport
Louangnamtha Airport (IATA: LXG, ICAO: VLLN) is an airport in Laos, 6 km south of the city of Luang Namtha. The airport was closed between 2006 and 2008 for a renovation that extended the runway from 1,200 to 1,600 metres, allowing larger aircraft such as the ATR 72 to use the airport, and built a new 700 m2 passenger terminal.[1][2]

gollark: It's actually very fast.

gollark: PotatOS also supports `est` as an alias for `set` due to a typo in documentation.

- "Mekong Tourism Resettlement Project Archived 2011-06-07 at the Wayback Machine", Lao National Tourism Authority, page 4: The existing airport runway is only 1,200 m, which is 300 m short of the 1,500 m runway standard. In addition, the runway is in poor condition, full of patches, encroached with vegetation and lacks a drainage system. Thus, it is considered unsafe especially during the rainy season. At present, the airport is unable to receive ATR72 (70 seats) and only receives Chinese built YN7 (50 seat) and YN12 (12 seats). This subproject aims to improve and extend the runway, construct a drainage system, passenger terminal and small control tower, and provide emergency and fire service equipment and air navigation services.
