2. Barra International Airport (Scotland)

Aircraft from this airfield take off from the beautiful Barra Bays on Cockle Strand. This airport literally takes off and lands right on your Scottish island holiday. However, weather reports and beach conditions must be constantly monitored to ensure planes land safely.
This causes the airport to experience an extensive number of flight cancellations each year, as high winds and a runway covered in salt water are not ideal conditions for landing.
3. Wellington International Airport (New Zealand)
With a considerably short runway (between 1828-2012 meters) and terrible wind conditions, landing planes at this airport is quite a challenge. As one of the windiest cities in the world, this New Zealand airfield is not for weak fliers due to its turbulence during flights and rough landings.
