World's Most Challenging Airport Runways: A Global Tour

World's Most Challenging Airport Runways: A Global Tour

Some airports have really short runways, making it tricky for planes to land.

These runways are often found in places with mountains or near the sea.

Pilots have to be super skilled to land on these short strips, especially in places like Nepal and the Caribbean.

One airport even uses a beach as a runway, which disappears during high tide!

In India, a hilltop airport also poses challenges.

These unique runways show how pilots deal with difficult terrain.
