08 World’s Most Dangerous and Breathtaking Airports
08 World’s Most Dangerous and Breathtaking Airports
In today’s fast paced life, Airports are the busiest places in the world. Every minute planes take off and land at different airports around the globe. There are many airports where pilots are so comfortable and familiar with as many of us with our daily routes to office and home. Have a look at below list of airports which are the nightmare for pilots to go to.
1. Kansai International Airport
Country: Osaka, Japan
Established: 1994
Kansai International Airport is built on an artificial island which is 2.5 miles long and 1.6 miles wide. It is so large that it can been seen from space. Travelers from the airport can go to the main city by car, railroad or a high-speed ferry.
Stewart Schreckengast who is a professor of aviation technology at Purdue University and a former aviation consultant with MITRE, said that this airport might be underwater in 50 years or more because of the climate changes and rising sea levels due to global warming.
2. Madeira Airport
Country: Santa Cruz, Portugal
Established: 1964
Madeira Airport is an international airport. It was once famous for its short runway which was surrounded by high mountains and the ocean that made a difficult landing even for the most experienced of pilots. The original runway was only 1,400 metres in length, but later it was extended by 400 metres.
The length of the runway was doubled in 2003. It was extended out over the ocean. Instead of using landfill, the extension was built on a series of 180 columns, each being approximately 70m tall.
3. Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport
Country: Saba, Netherlands
Established: 1963
Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport is the only airport on the Caribbean island of Saba, in the Netherlands Antilles. It covers a comparatively large portion of the small island of Saba. Despite the fact that no major tragedies have ever happened here. Still some of the aviation experts think that this airport is one of the most dangerous in the world.
What makes this airport dangerous is that both ends of the runway are covered by cliff which end instantly into the sea while one side is being covered with high hills. This creates the possibility that an airplane might overshoot the runway during landing or takeoff and end up in the sea or on the cliffs.

Country: Ross Island, Antarctica
Established: N/A
The Ice Runway is one of three major airstrips used to transport supplies to the researchers at Antarctica. There are no paved runways here.

Various photos of jets flying at 10–20 meters or 30-60 feet above the island have been considered fake but they are real.
