Aerophobia is a fear of flying in airplanes for the majority of the population. It mostly appears after 25 years. Perhaps it has something to do with the need to travel in the professional world. Exchange visits, international conferences and so on.
Sometimes a trip to an overseas destination is canceled because you’re too nervous to go to the airport. Some can overcome their fears, some can’t.
But there are also people who love flying and do not see this accident as an omen. Seeing the world of clouds and exploring other countries, peoples, civilizations – what could be more magical?? However, the arrival can be less than inviting and sometimes frightening.
1 | Toncontin International Airport, Honduras |
The airfield is important for the tourist islands of India, but dangerous because its runway is too short.
3 | Cleveland Hopkins International |
The runway intersects with the main road.
5 | Kansai International Airport, Japan |
Dangerously short runway. Often pilots mishandled the controls, causing the plane to fall directly into the ocean.
7 | Hilton Head International Airport, Savannah |
The enormous altitude and the rarefied air don’t make a good impression on the passengers and pilots.
9 | Princess Juliana International Airport, St. Maarten |
There are only 8 qualified pilots in the world who can land here. It’s amazing how passengers don’t take a sedative before boarding.
11 | Old Mariscal Sucre International Airport, Ecuador |
The area is subject to severe turbulence and variable winds at all times of the year. The airport is recognized as one of the most difficult.
13 | Lukla, Nepal |
The artificial runway is a special risk zone.
15 | Los Angeles (LAX) |
Established to transport explorers in passenger planes.
17 | Kaitak, Hong Kong |
Only suitable for small planes, but even they have the risk of crashing into the abyss.
19 | Gustaf III Airport, Saint Barthélemy |
The airport is unique because it is the only regular freight train service that runs through it.
21 | Don Mueang International Airport, Thailand |
The danger is due to the proximity of the tracks for skiers. And the runway itself is quite short.
23 | Dammam King Fahd International Airport, Saudi Arabia |
Located just 5 km from the center of the city of Sao Paulo. Apparently, pilots need large doses of alcohol after such a flight to calm our nerves.
25 | Barra International Airport, Scotland |
The only airport that uses the beach as a runway.
