Tenzing-Hillary Airport in Nepal
According to Tanya Danilova, the Russian flight attendant, Nepal's Tenzing-Hillary Airport is the most dangerous in the world. The airport has a runway length of just 500 meters, making it too risky for airplanes to take off and land.
Additionally, the airport is surrounded by multiple mountains, which makes landing extremely difficult for airplanes, especially in emergency landing situations.
Notably, experts say that only small airplanes and helicopters can easily take off and land at Tenzing-Hillary Airport. Pilots typically require special training to navigate this challenging airport. Over the years, multiple plane crashes have been recorded at this famous airport.
