Here Are The World’s 10 Most Dangerous Airports

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

While landing, there is no traffic control on site, no lights, and the electric power is restricted. All of this creates the perfect definition of danger that would make the adrenaline go crazy inside your veins.

France: Courchevel International Airport

With a 1722 ft (525 meters) runaway, Courchevel International Airport earns the award of being the shortest runaway in the world. However, we may still be accepted of that and think that’s it is not as dangerous, but what if we told you that the runaway is also paved and has a gradient of 18.5%?

Basically, the plane doesn’t have enough space to gather sufficient speed to fly, so it falls off a cliff, and the pilots just hope for the best.

That’s not the only issue, the plane would need to navigate through large and narrow valleys in the Alps while flying… It is like being in an action movie!

Tegucigalpa, Honduras: Toncontin Airport

This airport is particularly challenging because it is located in the heart of the mountains. To land, the aircraft would need to make a 45° bank turn through a dangerous valley in order to reach the runaway, which means it should reduce the altitude quickly and then land without scraping the terrain.

Every time the plane lands, it is a whole series of some difficult process that would make the passengers pray to be alive afterward.

Okinawa: MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station Futenma)

This is the most dangerous airport in the world but not for regular flights, but for the Navy and Marine Corps. Basically, they need to operate and do all of their tactical aircraft on the air in any kind of weather. But to make things worse, the aircraft flies over the Clear Zone where over 3,000 people are living.

In other words, the planes would need to do some dangerous things on the air in terrifying weather over hospitals, schools, and city offices. The pressure the pilots feel must be extremely high!
