Taking off and landing are always the riskiest parts of flying. When you add tricky conditions like high mountains, steep cliffs, beaches, and busy roads, the danger increases. But these challenges don’t seem to deter pilots or travelers! Buckle up because here are the eight most dangerous airports in the world!

One airport has its runway very close to a beach, where tourists swim and sunbathe. Although there hasn’t been a serious accident, the exhaust from aircraft engines poses a significant danger to people. When asked why early planners didn’t relocate the airport elsewhere, the response is clear: It’s the safest spot on the island for flights!
