6Toncontin International Airport, Honduras

Toncontin International Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, is infamous for its difficult approach. Surrounded by mountains, pilots must execute a sharp 45-degree turn to align with the runway, often while contending with strong crosswinds.

The runway itself is relatively short, measuring 2,163 meters (7,096 feet), and is located at an elevation of 1,000 meters (3,294 feet), which adds to the challenge. The surrounding terrain and the narrow approach path make Toncontin one of the most dangerous airports for both commercial and military pilots.
