You know what’s awkward? Having a major airport just five miles from a city centre. Sao Paulo’s Congonhas airport was built just before a rapid growth development, meaning there are plenty of high rises in close proximity to the runway. It’s basically like a pilot’s very own version of Flappy Bird.


==3. Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong

This airport closed in 1998 – cue round of applause. It was ranked the world’s sixth most terrifying airport thanks to the mountains and skyscrapers located to the north of the runway. Just take a look at the photo. Terrifying.
