19. Gibraltar International Airport, Gibraltar
Have you ever heard that the road traffic is stopped to let the aircraft pass through? Well, this is what happens at this airport. The only highway into Gibralter passes through the runway and the traffic is temporarily halted, creating a backlog around the town and upto the Spanish border. Rock of Gibraltar is seen on approach.
18. Skiathos Airport, Greece
If you want to take a picture right underneath a landing plane’s belly, this is the airport for it. The runway jets out to a tourist beach and tourists gather at the airport to watch landings and takeoffs. However, takeoffs can be expensive to holidaymakers if their vehicles come in direct path of the jet’s takeoff blast.
