Phosavan Airfield, Laos

In the most basic circumstances some airports offer no ground services such as refueling or boarding equipment. Therefore, planes must carry sufficient fuel for the return trip and have their own staircase. On the above photo, the size of the parking space is indicative that the propeller planes servicing the airfield only remain for unloading and loading passengers. One flight per day was calling the airport in 2003.
