Looking to speak w/ pilots flying to Paro or Lukla

I'm researching a television series on extraordinary airports, am looking for pilots who fly into Paro and/or Lukla airports and who are interested in participating in our show, with the ultimate goal of filming an approach and landing from the aircraft. If you are interested, or know anyone who might be please post up!
Cheers!

Paro

I suggest you contact Druk Air as they operate into Paro.

However, it seems that the BBC may have beaten you to it.

I used to fly into Lukla on a single engine turbo prop now settled in the USA and working for a regional. I might be able to find you a contact who flies into Lukla on the dornier 228 or the harbin Y-11

Flying to Paro/apologies for late response

Hi!

Thanks for getting back to me on this, and apologies for the very late response.
We've been speaking with Drukair and were very fortunate to have, with the help of their media person, done interviews with a couple of pilots and one of the ATC's.
Just wanted to thank you for your offer, and apologize again, as I've been on another assignment, and haven't been monitoring this forum.

Cheers!
David
