Digging deeper into high altitude airports around the World, it seem there are 20 such airports in China, one in Nepal and one in USA. And so far as I know, only 2 passenger aircarft type are tuned dedicately to high altitude airport operations, with additional certification to qualify for 14,000 feet airport operations.
And they are all owned by Tibet Airlines.
1. Airbus 319-100 Plateau and 319-NEO Plateau.
2. COMAC C909 Plateau.
With 20 high altitude airports in China, high altitude certified passenger aircraft's is in China, and C919-600 is specifically made for China's domestic operations.
The other 2 airports in Nepal and US are too small for passenger jets of C909/Airbus 319 size.
Other aircraft type can operated at high altitude airports with reduce loads, example a 140 seat passenger jet may have to restrict to only 100 passengers and use full runway lengths which could be as long as 3km to 4 km.
