Do you know the top 10 Most Dangerous Airport Runways In The World?

Here are 10 of the most dangerous airport runways in the world:

1. Courchevel Altiport, France: The airport with 500-metre runway facilities is a ski resort surrounded by mountains in the Alps. Pilots often encounter fog, snow and other perilous climate.

2. Wellington Airport, New Zealand: This airport allows only small planes to land. It's known for its windy airstreams, leading to unsettled touchdowns. The location often witnesses planes swaying as they arrive to make a landing.

3. Gisborne Airport, New Zealand: This landing strip has two modes of conveyance running through it, at any given point of time. A railway track runs just through the middle of the airstrip. Can you imagine?

4. Kansai International Airport, Japan: The airport is situated on its own man-made island! The area is privy to consistent earthquakes, cyclones and storm surge. Takeoff and landing at night are strictly prohibited.

5. Gustaf III Airport, Saint-Barthélemy: This airdrome has limited access just for the rich and famous. Owing to its petite dimension, only private aircraft of 20 people can land.

6. Princess Juliana International Airport, St Maarten: This airport is known for extremely low altitude landings. People come here just for a know-how of a plane flying straight over their head. The way into the runway is right above water which can be complicated for pilots.

7. Narsarsuaq Airport, Greenland: The approach of this runway makes it one of the most challenging in the world to land on. Pilots have to fly up a fjord over mountains and through stormy creeks to reach and finally make a U-turn on the way into which causes a massive uproar.

8 Barra International Airport, Scotland: With no scope for a customary pitch runway, this airport has three taxiways sited on a beach. Runways are sometimes underwater, during high tide. The scheduled flights are operational only when the tide is out.

9. Tenzing-Hillary Airport, Nepal: Mount Everest hikers reach here before starting their journey. The short 1,500-foot runway is sliced from the hillside. Remember to take off quickly when leaving as the end of the runway has a steep 9,000-foot drop.

10. Juancho E Yrausquin Airport, Dutch Caribbean island of Saba: The airport has the tiniest commercial airstrip in the world, only 400 metres long. Aircraft should fly towards the precipice it sits upon before making a severe left just before landing.
