Princess Julianna International, St. Marteen Report Abuse
With planes flying 60 feet over the beach before hitting the runaway, it is an absolutely surreal sight. This is definitely the number two for being amongst the most dangerous.

Funchal Airport, Madeira, Portugal Report Abuse
With water at the end of the runaway and hills on the other side, it takes real skill to land an airplane here. Hence, this gets it the number three spot overall.

Gustaf III Airport, St Barts Report Abuse
This Caribbean island has the fifth most dangerous airport in the world. Its short runway coupled with an abrupt start and end definitely makes it a challenge for the pilots.

Courchevel, France Report Abuse
This is one of the few airports with the combination of mountains, snow and a short runaway. It takes the top spot in terms of danger.
