Including a short runway, challenging terrain and difficult winds
An easyJet pilot has taken to the airline's TikTok to share insights on which airports require special training for landing. The pilot highlighted that certain airfields in their network require extra training to tackle challenges like unusual terrain, short runways, or their position relative to sea level.
Opened in 1971, Mykonos Airport, like many in Greece, is compact and becomes particularly congested during the peak summer season. With its notorious reputation, the History Channel once ranked it as the ninth most dangerous airport globally and as the third most dangerous within Europe. There have been quite a few accidents recorded over the years, with the most recent incident dating back to 2003 when an aircraft carrying 10 passengers ended up crashing into the sea shortly after takeoff, leading to the tragic death of all onboard.
London City Airport also falls into this category due to its short runway nestled in a compact area surrounded by buildings. The proximity of the Alps at Innsbruck also contributes to tricky wind conditions, making landing quite a challenge.Gibraltar The runway at Gibraltar International is owned by the MOD and it's a bit shorter than normal, hence the Category C rating. The runway actually crosses a main road, with traffic barriers used to block off vehicles.
