These are 5 Very Dangerous Airports in the World

VIVA – Traveling by airplane can be considered as the fastest as well as the most convenient way to reach different destinations. In some countries, airports offer long runways and designs that make it comfortable to wait for the plane to arrive.

However, there are some airports that can be very dangerous because of the narrow lanes. This is very challenging because there must be no miscalculation so only the pilot can access and handle the area.

Well, here are some very dangerous for people in the world.

1. Princess Juliana International Airport, San Martin

Princess Juliana International Airport is the main airport on Caribbean Island that has a short and very extreme total distance. The plane must fly a fairly low distance over several roads and beaches to land safely.

A large plane takes 8,000 feet from the runway, while the airport only has 7,000 feet. In addition, Princess Juliana International Airport is also a destination for tourists because it offers quite a challenging experience.

2. Toncontin International Airport, Honduras

Toncontin International Airport in Honduras is considered the most dangerous airport in the world. In addition to serving civilians, this airport also serves the military.

The airport is completely covered in mountains, that's why pilots have to maneuver a lot to avoid the cliffs. Some history has included this Honduran airport as the Most Extreme Airport.

The reason, the airport has a limited distance to take off. So, the pilot was forced to disconnect the jet and stop it suddenly.

3. Barra International Airport, Scotland

The airport, known as Barra Eoligarry Airport is located on the northernmost tip of Barra Island. This airport is the most dangerous because the runway is small and narrow.

In addition, the plane must also use the beach to land and take off while pulling its distance. It’s the only airport in the world that uses this learning technique.

4. Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong

Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong has very difficult take-offs due to strong winds. Being in the middle of the water, the pier looks complicated.

The pilot must be able to align perfectly and keep the speed just right to make mistakes.

5. Lukla Airport, Nepal

In 2008, Nepal's Lukla airport located in the Solukhumbu district, changed its name to Tenzing-Hillary Airport. The runway is relatively high, which is 8,000 feet above sea level.

Particularly dangerous factors are the limited distance and runway limitations, but there are no modern Air Traffic Controller (ATC) features or power controllers and air traffic control.
