The Most Dangerous (And Expensive) Airports Ever Built

22. Gisborne Airport – New Zealand

Year of construction: 1960
Risk factors: Track intersects with train tracks

The operations carried out at this airport look like something out of an action movie, as the main runway crosses the tracks of a working train. This means that all takeoffs and landings must be carefully coordinated with train schedules.

To balance its reputation of being one of the most dangerous airports in the world, the Gisborne Airport’s cafeteria has a very good reputation. All of its food is made from local, organic products from nearby farms.
