Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal

Although Madeira is a hugely well-known tourist destination, its airport on the Portuguese island is a hazard. The runway was nearly increased in 2000, from 9124 feet (2780 meters) however, this extension was constructed on a foundation supported by 180 columns that are positioned upon the water. Furthermore, the weather conditions are challenging with frequent high winds, making landing here an endeavor that can only be accomplished by pilots who have been specially trained. Despite the risk of the runway, many are still able to book flights to the airport as they are all eager to visit Madeira.
