The Top 3 World’s Scariest Airplane Landings
May 4th, 2012 by Henry, under Air Travel. No Comments
When you are flying, your favorite part of the flight is probably the take-off or the landing. But some airports around the world could change your mind about landings in a heartbeat. These world’s scariest airplane landings will curl your hair, and just might make you swear off flying forever.
Gibraltar International Airport
This little island is famous for their rock. The British outpost might have a big rock, but what they don’t have is a lot of space. That is why their airport came up with a unique solution.
What make this airport particularly scary is that the major highway on the island runs directly across the runway. There are signals on each side of the runway to stop the cars, but it certainly gives the phrase “flying down the highway” a whole different meaning.
Barra Airport
The disappearing runway of Barra Airport puts this airport right up there as one of the world’s scariest landings. Barra is a tiny island off the coast of Scotland in the Hebrides. They don’t have room for an airport, but they do have a beach.
So, at low tide flights land and take off on the beach. Literally on the beach.
There are signs on the beach warning people to stay clear when the windsocks are out. To make it worse, it is only naturally lit, so in the late afternoon it is common to see cars on the side of the beach with their headlights on to give the pilots a little more light.
Courcheval International Airport
Courcheval is a lovely French town high in the Alps. Many people love to go there to enjoy the ski slopes. What qualifies this as one of the world’s scariest airplane landings is that your first experience of those slops is when you are landing.
Flat space is at a premium, so the runway is built on an 18 degree slope, and it’s short.
To land, airplanes go uphill to slow them down, and they take off downhill so they can get up enough speed. No one ever imagines that their ski vacation actually starts whilst still on the airplane.
Have you ever landed at these airports? What’s your scariest flight experience?
Mark Haigh loves to travel but having personally experienced just one of these tricky airport landings, he’s now a bit more choosy about where he flies to. So any warnings about equally terrifying landings would be most welcome. The biggest risk he normally enjoys in life is playing in a UK lottery syndicate. He also enjoys sharing his tips on how to win the lottery – which all started many years ago when he actually started listening closely in maths classes. Obviously he chooses to listen far more selectively these days, a benefit of age and wisdom.
