Named as Caribbean’s most spectacular airport, it has very low altitude flyover landing approach because one of its runways is extremely close to a tourist beach. Regular instrument checks are done to ensure correct landing altitude is maintained over the water. At take off, pilots must take a U-Turn to avoid crashing into the mountains looming at the end of the runways.
14. Gustaf III Airport, Saint Barthélemy
Named as one of the most challenging airports in the world, the pilots must be individually trained specially to land on its treacherous runway. With a hill at the end of one runway to a beach at the other, the departing planes fly almost directly over the heads of sunbathers, almost hitting one tourist one time.
