There are many airports in India where both taking off and landing are extremely dangerous. If you are traveling by flight from these airports located amidst mountains, beaches and dense forests, then you should know some important things about them.
Talking about the most dangerous airport in the country, it is Shimla Airport located in Himachal Pradesh. The runway of this airport located in Himachal Pradesh is very short. In such a situation, it is very difficult to take off and land from this airport. Due to the bad weather of Shimla, sometimes it becomes difficult for the pilot to land here. At the same time, sometimes the flights landing here have to be diverted.
Ladakh’s Kushok Bakula Rimpoche Airport is even more dangerous. The airport is situated at an altitude of approximately 3,256 meters above sea level. In such a situation, it is very difficult to take off and land from Ladakh surrounded by snow covered mountains. Pilots also have to contend with strong winds and low oxygen levels here.
Mangalore International Airport in Karnataka is situated amidst hills and its runway is surrounded by valleys on both sides. Due to the short runway, the pilot has to take immediate action here. Changes in weather prove difficult for pilots.
