The Most Dangerous (And Expensive) Airports Ever Built

25. London City Airport – United Kingdom

Year of construction: 1987
Risk factors: Closeness to the city

Because it is located in the center of London, this airport has restricted space. There is only one runway for take-off and landing, and aircraft operations are controlled to limit the noise produced at the airport so that it does not affect life in the city too much.

In addition to these restrictions, London has buildings and skyscrapers that make the angle of approach of planes considerably difficult. Surprisingly, there has only been one plane crash at this airport. The crash was caused by a hard landing, and, thankfully, no one was seriously injured.
