This obsession with air  travel has led to mushroom growth of airports  around the world. When you will look at the pictures below, you will  ask yourself this question. “What on earth, they were thinking, when  they put that landing strip there?” All of you will agree that  the photos below are an airline  pilot’s worst nightmare. These are indeed world’s most difficult landing  approaches. It needs a lion’s heart or Instrument Landing to land an  aircraft there. Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> With numerous  skyscrapers and mountains located to the north and its only runway  jutting out into Victoria Harbour, landings at the airport were  infamously difficult. Funchal Airport,  Madeira <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The airport is  infamous for its short runway which, surrounded by high mountains and  the ocean, which make it a tricky landing for even the most experienced  of pilots   Gustaf III Airport, St. Barts <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The arrival  descent is extremely steep over the hilltop traffic circle and departing  planes fly right over the heads of sunbathers (although small signs  advise sunbathers not to lie directly at the end of the runway Courchevel Airport, France <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Courchevel’s airport has a  certain degree of infamy in the aviation industry as home to one of the  shortest runways in the world. The airport has a dangerous approach  through deep valleys which can only be performed by specially certified  pilots Princess Juliana Airport, Saint Maarten <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The airport is famous for its short runway at only 2,400 meters  it is barely long enough for heavy jets to land. Therefore, incoming  airplanes approaching the island have to fly extremely low, passing only  10-20 meters over relaxing tourists on Maho Beach. Gilgit Airport, Pakistan <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Due to the  short runway at Gilgit airport that is located at the edge of a slope,  even an aircraft as small as a Boeing 737 aircraft cannot land and  take-off at the Gilgit Airport. Khathmandu International Airport <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/untitled.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> It is  considered one of the dangerous and deadliest airports in the world  because of its location and the difficulties during landing. It is a  step by step decent landing and the pilot has to continuously monitor  the altitude as well as should be physically able to see the mountains.  for more details check Assad’s blog post. Narsarsuaq Airport, Greenland <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Narsarsuaq  Airportis located  in Narsarsuaq, in southern Greenland. The lake at the end of the runway  and steep cliffs makes it difficult to land even for skilled pilots. Saba Island Airport, Netherlands Antilles <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The locals claim that this is the shortest commercial airport  runway in the world. There are not any overrun areas on either end of  the paved runway where sheer cliffs immediately drop off over 200 feet  into the sea. Lugano Airport,  Switzerland <img src="http://listphobia.com/wp-content/uploads/061709_0638_10MostDange10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Lugano-Agno’s instrument  approach procedure is quite challenging because of its steep angle  of descent of 6.65°which is double of the standard approach. This is due  to its geographic location in the mouth of a valley. [Source:Net] </blockquote>
