Blimey, an airport 14,000’+ up that takes airliners. I thought Bogota was impressive when I operated out of there but this is extreme. Must be c.25% IAS/TAS, especially in summer.

I’d feel the need for supplemental O2 in the terminal let alone on the approach, unless they have some sort of enrichment system, like the trains that go across the Tibetan plateau.
