Airports may become home to many people, it’s because when you continually travel, these are usually the closest welcoming place we have. There are unique airports in the world, but there are characterized by being more rare and unheard. Know more unusual landing tracks and where we can find them.
Antarctic Peninsula: It should not be easy landing in a place completely surrounded by snow and airport in this country, you have no choice to land this way. Looking at it from a positive point of view, the pilot will have enough space to land, but this definitely does not do anything easy, so it will be quite dangerous. The burden of these planes should be fairly light, because perhaps with the weight of the plane, you may sink you imagine might happen that? Definitely a frightening experience.
Funchal airport: This airport is located in Portugal, it is definitely unique. Seeing it from afar, it seems crazy that this runway is supported in thin pillars that are seen in the distance, but really, is the rarest is the track of this airport, which is built a few meters from sea. Specifically located on the island of Madeira, this airport has much to say, is that in 1977, a plane intended to land skidded off the runway and ended up crashed into a bridge; where it was known that 131 people died in this tragic accident.
Kai Tak Airport: Although currently this airport is no longer in service, we could not leave it out. The landing on the runway of the airport was like something out of a horror movie, and there were many maneuvers that pilots should do to land alive. Because of how dangerous its landings had become, they decided to close it after more than 72 years serving.
Kansai, Osaka Bay: This is one of the finest architectural wonders ever before seen. The strangest thing is that this airport was made on an island, yes, almost like an island airport. The architect Renzo Piano, was in charge of making this majestic work; perfectly designed. This airport has a long road to the city, so you can go by boat, car and of course, by plane.
Courchevel Airport: Located in the French Alps, where the extreme sport is practiced: skiing. The airport has a runway of just 525 meters, where can only enter experienced pilots or helicopters.
No doubt each of these airports will surprise you, and who imagined that you could land in such strange places? Your life may be in danger, but the thrill of knowing that only are a few of these airports in the world, makes it worth.
