The takeoff and landing are always the riskiest parts of a flight. These risks can increase due to specific conditions that pilots and travelers must face. However, things like high mountains, steep cliffs, beaches, and busy main roads don’t seem to deter pilots or travelers. Buckle up, because here are the 8 most dangerous airports in the world!

Although there has never been a serious accident, the exhaust from aircraft engines poses a significant danger to people on the beach. When asked why St. Martin didn’t move the airport elsewhere, the answer was clear: it’s the safest place on the island for flights.
