Every minute planes take off and land at different airports around the globe. There are many airports where pilots are so comfortable\u00a0and familiar with\u00a0as many\u00a0of us with our daily routes to\u00a0office and home.\u00a0 Have a look at below list of airports which are the nightmare for pilots to go to.\n\n\n<h3>1. Kansai International Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Kansai International Airport\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kansai-International-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"389\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>Country: <\/strong>Osaka,\u00a0Japan\n<strong>Established<\/strong>: 1994\n\nKansai 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.\u00a0Travelers from the airport can go to the main city by car, railroad or a high-speed\u00a0ferry.\n\nStewart Schreckengast who is a professor of aviation technology at Purdue University and a former aviation consultant with MITRE, said that this airport might be\u00a0underwater in 50 years or more\u00a0because\u00a0of the\u00a0climate changes and rising sea levels due to global warming.\n\n\n<h3>2. Madeira Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Madeira Airport\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Madeira-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>Country: <\/strong>Santa Cruz, Portugal\n<strong>Established<\/strong>: 1964\n\nMadeira Airport is an international airport.\u00a0It was once famous for its short runway which was surrounded by high mountains and the ocean that made a\u00a0difficult 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.\n\nThe length of the runway was doubled in 2003. It was extended out over the ocean.\u00a0Instead of using landfill,\u00a0the extension was built on a series of 180 columns, each being approximately\u00a070m tall.\n\n\n<h3>3. Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Juancho E Yrausquin Airport\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Juancho-E-Yrausquin-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>Country: <\/strong>Saba, Netherlands\n<strong>Established<\/strong>: 1963\n\nJuancho E. Yrausquin Airport is the only airport on the Caribbean island of Saba, in the Netherlands Antilles.\u00a0It covers a\u00a0comparatively\u00a0large portion of the small island of Saba.\u00a0Despite the fact that no major tragedies have ever happened here. Still some of the aviation\u00a0experts think that this airport is one of the most dangerous in the world.\n\nWhat 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.\u00a0This\u00a0creates the possibility that an airplane might overshoot the runway during landing or takeoff and end up in the sea or on the cliffs.\n\n\n<h3>4. Ice Runway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Ice Runway\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ice-Runway.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p><div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<strong>Country: <\/strong>Ross Island, Antarctica\n<strong>Established<\/strong>: N\/A\n\nThe Ice Runway is one of three major airstrips used to transport supplies to the researchers at Antarctica. There are no paved runways here. All the planes have to land on long stretches of ice and snow. However, these landing strips are groomed carefully. The only challenge pilots have to face is to land the plane carefully so that the plane doesn&#8217;t get stuck in the soft snow. Oh this sounds crazy!\n\n\n<h3>5. Princess Juliana International Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Princess Juliana International Airport\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Princess-Juliana-International-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"302\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>Country<\/strong>: \u00a0Saint Maarten, Eastern Caribbean\n<strong>Established<\/strong>: 1942\n\nPrincess Juliana International Airport is second busiest airport in the Eastern Caribbean. It is named after Juliana of the Netherlands, who as a crown princess landed here in 1944.\u00a0The airport has a very short landing strip of about 2,180 metres\u00a0that has made it quite famous. Due to short landing strip, the planes have to approach the\u00a0island flying extremely low. Various photos of jets flying at 10\u201320 meters or 30-60 feet above the island have been considered fake but they are real.\n\n\n<h3>6. Courchevel Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-216  aligncenter\" title=\"Courchevel Airport\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Courchevel-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>Country<\/strong>: Courchevel, France\n<strong>Established: <\/strong>N\/A\n\nCourchevel is the name of the largest linked ski area in France. \u00a0It has an airport with a very short runway that pilots have to land on an inclined strip to slow down and to take off on a decline strip to get enough speed. Only private or charter planes and helicopters are allowed to land.\n\nYou must have seen this airport in the opening scene of the movie Tomorrow Never Dies.\n\n\n<h3>7. Barra International Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Barra International Airport\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Barra-International-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/h3>\n\n\n<strong>Country<\/strong>: Barra, Scotland\n<strong>Established<\/strong>: 1975\n\nBarra Airport is the only airport in the world where planes have to land on the beach. It is situated on a wide beach in Barra Island,\u00a0Scotland.\u00a0The airport is literally washed away by the tide once a day.\n\n\n<h3>8. Lukla Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Lukla Airport\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incrediblediary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lukla-Airport.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<strong>Country<\/strong>: Nepal\n<strong>Established<\/strong>: N\/A\n\nLukla Airport is a\u00a0small airport in the Town of Lukla in eastern Nepal. The airport is at an elevation of 2900 meters and it is quite popular as it has a huge mountain on one end and a 1000 meter drop on the other.\u00a0In 2008, it was renamed in the honor of Sir Edmund Hillary who was the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.]]>    \t<\/p>\n<div class=\"38520354a5201685ddf480eec688e1a7\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n          <p><a id=\"link-15\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" id=\"img-15\" src=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n            <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n              if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"link-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('href',myObj.url);\r\n                document.getElementById(\"img-\"+myObj.id).setAttribute('src','https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/uploads\/'+myObj.image);\r\n              }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/\/api\/Ads\/15\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        <style>\r\n        *{box-sizing:border-box}.top-container{display: grid;grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;}.column{float:left;width:100%;padding: 0 7.5px 15px 7.5px;}.row{margin:0 -5px}.row:after{content:\"\";display:table;clear:both}@media screen and (max-width: 600px){.top-container{display: block;grid-template-columns: unset;}.column{width:100%;display:block;margin-bottom:20px}}.card{text-align:center;}.card_image img{width:100%}.card_body{padding:15px}.card_title{font-size: 14px;line-height: 19px;text-decoration: none;text-align:left;color: #333;}.card-heading{text-align: left;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}\r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <div class=\"row todays-top\">\r\n            <h3 class=\"card-heading\"> Recent Articles: <\/h3><div class=\"top-container\" id=\"todays-top\">\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <script>\r\n            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n            var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText); \r\n            myObj.forEach(function(item) {\r\n            document.getElementById('todays-top').innerHTML += '<div class=\"column\"><div class=\"card\"><div class=\"card_image\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"'+item.image+'\"><\/a><\/div><div class=\"card_body\"><a href=\"'+item.url+'\"><h3 class=\"card_title\">'+item.title+'<\/h3><\/a><a href=\"'+item.url+'\">Read more<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>';\r\n            });\r\n            }\r\n            };\r\n            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Drprem_blogs\", true);\r\n            xmlhttp.send();\r\n            <\/script>\r\n        \r\n        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t.videoWrapper{position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0}.videoWrapper iframe{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"videoWrapper\" id=\"video_7\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                var myObj = JSON.parse(this.responseText);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                document.getElementById(\"video_\"+myObj.id).innerHTML = myObj.embed_video_code;\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            }\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            };\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.open(\"GET\", \"https:\/\/fetch.drprem.com\/api\/Videos\/7\", true);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            xmlhttp.send();\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today&#8217;s fast paced life, Airports are the busiest places in the world.
