The Most Dangerous (And Expensive) Airports Ever Built

50. Jigalong Mission Airport – Australia

Year of construction: 1970
Risk factors: Isolated location

Jigalong Airport is named after a small nearby community, which has a tiny population of just 333 people. It’s no surprise that the main problem with this airport is how desolate the land surrounding its runway is.
