The Most Dangerous (And Expensive) Airports Ever Built

26. La Guardia Airport – New York, USA

Year of construction: 1937
Risk factors: Air traffic

LaGuardia is New York’s main domestic airport. It serves as a gateway to people visiting from other states; therefore, it is usually very crowded. And that is precisely the main problem of this airport: air traffic.

Air routes to and from LaGuardia must be carefully planned to avoid accidents in the air. Still, airplanes also tend to get in the way of each other on the runway and affect flights. This airport has been the site of at least fourteen accidents, many of which had disastrous consequences.
