Actually , the airport should be built on a large area , flat , wind speed
does not exceed the standard , and have broad visibility . But , not all
location meets all the requirements , but at the location of the airport is
required . Because of this , there are some airports that are built on a less
than ideal location that is very risky for the aircraft landed . Here's a list
of airports in the world 's most thrilling .
1 . Kansai International Airport
Japan has a dense population but has limited land . Therefore , the engineers thought hard to build an airport there . One solution is to reclaiming beaches . Kansai Airport was built on an artificial island in 1987 . A jumbo jet successfully landed for the first time there in 1994 . Nevertheless , the threat of sea level rise is a very real threat to the airport .
2 . Gibraltar Airport
Gibraltar is a British territory area including MERKI ayng be between Morocco and Spain . The uniqueness of this airport is , a busy road that is , Winston Churchill Avenue , cutting off the runway . As a means of security , there is a security door ( portal ) that closes each time a plane that will fly or land . This is a consequence of the territory of Gibraltar are very small and crowded .
3 . Madeira International Airport
Madeira is a small island off the coast of Portugal . Initially , the length of the runway just 1600 meters so the condition is very dangerous , even for experienced pilots .
To extend the runway , build some sort of bridge engineers with many pillars so that the runway length to 3,000 meters . It is a very impressive effort . The runway extension bridge able to withstand a Boeing 747 and similar aircraft .
4 . Lukla Airport ( Tenzing Hillary Airport )
The airport is located in Lukla , Nepal , and perhaps the highest airports in the world . The airport is located at an altitude of 2900 meters above sea level . Available runway is only 500 meters . One end of the runway is a high mountain , and on the other side there is a deep chasm . Under these conditions , a small mistake can be fatal .
5 . Ice Runway
The runway was built to meet the needs of researchers at McMurdo Station , Antarctica . As the name implies , nothing concrete there . There are only a downstream ice and snow are long and unkempt . However, because the terrain is wide and flat , a Hercules aircraft can land here . Noteworthy is to make sure that the ice is thick enough and strong enough to support the weight of the plane and so the wheels do not get stuck in the snow .
6 . Congonhas Airport
Almost all major cities have an airport , as well as the city of Sao Paulo , Brazil . However , no airports were built just 5 miles from the city center such as Congonhas airport . Initially , the airport was built when the area was still quiet ( 1936 ) . However , the rapid development of the city which makes it " trapped " in the center of town , a dangerous challenge for pilots . Fortunately, around the airport , no high buildings .
7 . Courchevel International Airport
The airport was built to serve a visit to a ski resort in Courchevel , France . However , the length of the runway is only 580 meters plus the presence of a hill in the middle of the runway , making only a special certified pilots are allowed to fly the plane and land there .
8 . Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport
The airport is located on the island of Saba which are under the ownership of the Netherlands and the Antilles region . The island is very beautiful , but when he first landed there , we will be heart pounding. The reason is not because the existing runway length is only about 430 meters . Even small aircraft such as the Cessna would be difficult to land there .
9 . Princess Juliana International Airport
The airport is located in Simpson Bay , St Marteen , Caribbean Islands . One thing that is a bit creepy from the airport is , must first plane flew low over the buildings , fences , roads , and the tourists before finally landing . It could be very dangerous if there is a trailer truck suddenly crossed because it could be blocking ( read : get hit ) plane .
10 . Svalbard Airport
Actually , Svalbard is a collection belonging to the Norwegian island located in the Arctic Ocean . Overall, there are 3 airports built in the islands , and the only one that serves commercial airlines while others for the purposes of cost coal .
Svalbard Airport is an airport located in the northernmost point of the earth . The airport runway is built on top of permafrost ( ground ice ) and was completed in 1975. Due to unstable soil conditions , this runway should be repaired repeatedly . A study in 2002 showed that an increase in temperature of the earth to make an airport require regular care and foundation coating
