World's Most Dangerous Airports

 Emergency landings are far more common than is normally believed: according to it, at Heathrow there's at least one emergency landing per day.

Many of these airports are accessible only by well trained and qualified pilots. In Paro, Bhutan only 17 pilots are trained to maneuver the breathtaking landing and in small airports in remote locations like Norway and Antarctica, the landings are even more dramatic.


Toncontin Airport / Honduras



The airport received much notoriety as being one of the most dangerous in the world due to its proximity to mountainous terrain, its short runway, and its historically difficult approach to runway 02.
Tenzing–Hillary Airport is frequently referred to as the most dangerous airport in the world. Arriving and departing aircraft must use a single runway (06 for landing and 24 for takeoff). There is a low prospect of a successful go-around on short final approach due to the terrain.

Saba Airport / Dutch Caribbean



Saba is a small island at 13 square kilometres (5.0 sq mi) in size and roughly circular in shape. It lies north-west of Sint Eustatius and south-west of Saint Barthélemy and Sint Maarten. The terrain is generally mountainous, culminating in Mount Scenery in the island's centre. Off the north coast lies the much smaller Green Island.the tiny island of Saba has been hit by more severe hurricanes in the last 150 years than any other in the region, including by 15 category three storms and seven category fives. Head there during the winter.

McMurdo Station, Antarctica




Williams Field or Willy Field (ICAO: NZWD) is a United States Antarctic Program airfield in Antarctica. Williams Field consists of two snow runways located on approximately 8 meters (25 ft) of compacted snow, lying on top of 8–10 ft of ice,[3] floating over 550 meters (1,800 ft) of water.[4] The airport, which is approximately seven miles from Ross Island, serves McMurdo Station and New Zealand's Scott Base. Until the 2009–10 summer season, Williams was the major airfield for on-continent aircraft operations in Antarctica.

Lukla Airport, Nepal



Airports at high-altitude present dangers due to the effect that low air pressure has on the handling of an airplane. Tenzin-Hillary Airport in Lukla, Nepal, has not just one, but all of these dangers. Approach to the airport runway at Lukla, Nepal.Lukla-bound flights have become infamous for crashes. Seven have occurred since 2000, killing over 50 passengers and crew
