The most dangerous airport in the world is Princess Juliana International Airport in Saint Maarten. It is the second busiest airport in the Eastern Caribbean, and is famous for its short landing strip — only 7,152 ft, which is barely enough for heavy jets. Because of this, the planes approach the island flying extremely low, right over Maho Beach. Countless photos of large jets flying at 30-60 ft over relaxing tourists at the beach have been dismissed as fakes many times, but are nevertheless real. For this reason as well it has become a favorite for planespotters. Despite all the uproar about this poorly thought out airport, there have been no major accidents or incidents reported.
