The location information of the top ten dangerous airports in the world is as follows: Siasos International Airport is located in Greece; Lukla Airport is located in Nepal; Gustav III Airport is located in France; Princess Julianne International Airport is located on the Caribbean island of St. Martin; Gao Xue Ville Airport is located in France; Paro Airport is located in the Kingdom of Bhutan; Juan Che Jalas Quinn Airport is located in the Netherlands; Madeira Airport is located in Africa; Telluride airport is located in the United States; Jinchengjiang Airport in Hechi, Guangxi is located in China.
1. Siasos International Airport
Siasos International Airport is located on the island of Siasos, Greece, and the narrow runway is only about 1628 meters long. Due to the uneven terrain on Yasos Island, the airport was built by reclaiming land in the sea area between Yasos Island and the smaller Lazareta Island, and connecting the two islands into a larger island.
2. Lukla Airport
Lukla Airport is only 41 minutes away from Kathmandu, and once it was considered as the most dangerous airport on earth: Lukla. In addition to being the most dangerous airport in Nepal, Lukla is actually the busiest airport in the country, and it is also the main entrance and exit for climbers who want to climb Mount Everest.
3. Gustav III Airport
Gustav III Airport is located in St. Bart's Island, France. It is named after King Gustav III of Sweden. The runway is only 641 meters, surrounded by mountains on three sides and located on the coast, with a very small area. Its runway is built perpendicular to the coast, so pilots have the feeling of landing in the sea.
4. Princess Julianne International Airport
Princess Julianne International Airport is located on St. Martin's Island in the Caribbean. The airport is named after Princess Julianne, then heir to the throne in the Netherlands. At first, it served as a simple military airport, but it was converted into a civil airport after 1943. The biggest feature of Princess Julianne Airport is that the runway is only 2,349 meters long, but large passenger planes can still land safely.
because runway 11 is too close to the seaside, it is impossible to set up an airflow buffer zone. When the plane arrived at Maho Beach near the airport, it was only about 11-21 meters away from the beach.
5. Gao Xue Ville Airport
Gao Xue Ville Airport serves the ski resort in the French Alps and has a 561-meter-long runway, which is mainly used for helicopters and small fixed-wing aircraft. The runway is located on a mountain at an altitude of 2,118 meters with a slope of 18.6%.
There is actually a hill in the middle of the runway. The plane needs to land uphill and take off downhill to reduce the taxiing distance. So landing there is not an easy task. The pilot must land perfectly at the first time. To make matters worse, this airport does not provide lighting or instrument assistance, so it can't take off and land in bad weather.
6. Paro Airport
Paro Airport is a civil airport in Paro City, the capital of Parozong in the west of Bhutan. It is located in the Paro Valley with dangerous terrain and surrounded by mountains. Bhutan's airport only authorized 17 qualified pilots to land on the runway surrounded by 5481-meter-high peaks. This 1,964-meter runway is only allowed to land or take off during the day.
7. Juan Che Jalas Quinn Airport
Juan Che Jalas Quinn Airport was named after Juancho Irausquin, the former minister of Aruba, but it also has a more widely known name, Saba Airport. It is located in the Caribbean of the Netherlands and has the shortest commercial airport runway in the world. The total length of the airport is only 411 meters. It is hard to convince that the airport still accepts commercial flights.
8. Madeira Airport
Madeira Airport is located off the west coast of Africa and belongs to Madeira, Portugal. There is an airport surrounded by the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. In extreme weather conditions, a successful landing is a particularly difficult task. In addition, the extremely short runway and the notorious Atlantic wind make this airport without an instrument landing system one of the most dangerous airports in Europe.
9. Telluride Airport
Telluride Airport is located at an altitude of 9,171 feet. It is the highest commercial airport in the United States and serves the world-famous Telluride ski resort. There are huge cliffs at both ends of the runway. With strong winds, landing will become difficult even for experienced pilots. However, the magnificent scenery of Telluride and San Juan mountains is still the existence that people go to regardless of danger.
11. Jinchengjiang Airport in Hechi, Guangxi
Hechi Jinchengjiang Airport is located in Hechi Town, 28 kilometers northwest of Hechi City, Guangxi, with an altitude of 677 meters, which is the highest airport in Guangxi. In order to build the airport, construction workers fought day and night, and leveled 65 large and small hills. Only in this way can a 2.2-kilometer-long runway be finally built, which is the most difficult to construct in the world, and the complex landform has also brought many problems.
Although this airstrip is one of the narrowest runways in the world, it can stop at three flights per hour, and the traffic volume is still considerable. Hechi Jinchengjiang Airport is like an aircraft carrier deep in a mountain. This airport, built on the edge of a cliff, blew up 65 hills and was surrounded by ravines about 311 meters high, so it is called "Cliff Airport".
