Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong is one of the top ten dangerous airports in the world, but it is also the safest airport in the world. Because of geographical restrictions, take-off and landing planes are very dangerous, so it is one of the top ten dangerous airports in the world. But because of this, the pilots flying to Kai Tak Airport are very experienced, so there are few air crashes, so they can become the safest airport in the world. Details are as follows:
Kai Tak Airport has only one runway extending to Victoria Harbour, which was reclaimed from the sea in Kowloon Bay. The take-off and landing directions of the aircraft are 136 and 3 16 respectively, so they are called "runway 13" and "runway 3 1". Runway 13/3 1 was extended several times, and Kai Tak Airport was closed before the airport.
The length is 3390 meters. There is a narrow waterway between the runway and Kwun Tong in the east. At the end of the runway are mountains and houses. When the pilot landed, he saw the huge square on Gezi Mountain, so he had to turn the plane around and prepare to land. Due to the limitation of geographical environment, it is quite challenging for aircraft to take off and land at Kai Tak Airport. In addition, Kai Tak Airport is called "Top Ten Dangerous Airports in the World" because of the mountainous area and frequent windshear near the airport. But for the same reason, airlines usually only send experienced pilots to Hong Kong, so there have been few major air crashes since the airport was put into operation.
