BEIJING—China plans to build the world's highest airport in its Himalayan region of Tibet, at an elevation of nearly 4,500 meters, state media said Tuesday.

Construction of the airport on the so-called "roof of the world" is projected to start next year at a cost of about $260 million (1.8 billion yuan), the Xinhua news agency said, quoting a local planning official.
