Where are the most terrible airports in the world (photos)

Severe weather and natural conditions, lack of space and engineering innovation.

Even those who used to fly a lot, unable to flinch, caught in one of these airports.

Princess Juliana international airport, St. Maarten

This airport has already become famous all over the world, including because of a few accidents. The planes here fly 30 metres over the heads of tourists on beach tourists, cross the fence, a busy road and land at the airport.

Kansai airport is located on the same artificial island 4 km long and 2.5 km wide. The construction of this airport is a real engineering breakthrough. But the frequent earthquakes and other natural conditions are very dangerous for the island and arriving here aircraft.

Stunning views for commuters and headaches for pilots. In order to land here, need to fly along the fjord and try not to get into turbulence, which occurs even in calm days.

This airport is located in a very picturesque place and can be considered one of the most beautiful. But the emotions subside a little, when you realize that the whole airport there is only one very short runway that ends in the sea.

Not less wonderful views the passengers of flights arriving at the airport, Agatti. From all sides the runway length at 1219 meters surrounded by the Indian ocean. One awkward movement or incorrectly calculated the time — and it can happen.

About the features of this airport are best evidenced by the fact that only 8 pilots worldwide are qualified to land here. Paro airport is 2.4 km above sea level and surrounded by sharp mountain peaks of the Himalayas. In addition, the runway here in just 1980 meters long, so stock up on the sedatives will not be superfluous.

This is probably the most unique airport in the world. And despite the fabulous scenery around, it is also very dangerous. The thing is that instead of the runway the aircraft at the airport use the Barra beach. Three lanes here are in the form of triangles and are marked by high poles. However, land here only helicopters and small private planes.

Usually major cities are trying to make airports outside the residential sector, but not in Sao Paulo. Here the airport is located just 8 km from the city centre. Every landing at this airport is a real challenge for both pilot and passengers. And the locals are also not happy.

Here, as in the previous case, engineers are not too concerned with comfort and safety. The runway of the airport runs right through the main street of the city. Every time a plane comes in to land, road block barrier (as in the case of trains).

It seems that during the construction of this airport security issue was discussed last. Or not discussed at all. And all because in the middle of the runway here is a railroad. Managers should coordinate takeoffs and landings with the arrival of trains. However, since 2001, there are only cargo flights.

This airport is scary especially for its location. In 2010 channel History Channel even called it the most dangerous in the world. And all because it is located at a height of 2,900 meters, while its landing strip with one hand ends high mountain, and with another — a deep abyss.
