The World's Most Dangerous Airports UK TV

For aviation fans in General-

Programme starts on Thursday 14th October on channel 5 @ 19:30-21:00

feature length documentary highlighting the treacherous conditions that airliners face as they navigate the world's most dangerous airports.

Unnecessary scare-mongering is all that this programme is going to be. If an airport is 'dangerous' then no airline/pilot would fly there. Just because something is unusual or appears out of the ordinary, that does not make it 'dangerous'.

]But apart from that, I'm sure it will be interesting nonetheless

you can see the airports on youtube one called- TNCM (Princess Juliana International Airport) , but all are used daily with civilian passengers so like you state will not be dangerous- but good viewing unless you are scared of flying and if one is i'm sure they will not view it, a couple of links of what can be seen.

To be honest, I always thought Pai airstrip was dangerous. Mountain one end and large aircraft can only land and take off in one direction. When it overcast and raining, the aircraft can't land. That was a few years ago, as I have been in that situation with Thai AIr. We actually had to come back and land at the departing airport and wait in the aircraft until the weather cleared.
