The Most Dangerous (And Expensive) Airports Ever Built

53. Georgetown Airport – California, USA

Year of construction: 1962
Risk factors: Location, track

This airport has the reputation of being the most-hated by pilots all over the world. There are many reasons for this discontent. First, at one end of the runway, there is an area full of trees, and at the other end, a cliff.

As if that were not enough, this runway is not flat, and its inclination makes takeoffs and landings considerably difficult. In addition, this airport is in an isolated area, which can pose a problem if there is an accident. Finally, pilots have found that the track is full of holes and too narrow.
