The airport is one of the world’s most dangerous

Honduras is being chastised not for the sake of its murderous gangs and drug-armed conflicts, but also for its airport. Because of its inaccessibility, Toncontn International Airport un Tegucigalpa has been dubbed the world's second most hazardous. It is tucked away in the mountains, and planes have a hard time dealing with landing owing to the various extensions and short approach — and the requirement for a 45-degree turn to reach the runway! Planes approaching Toncontn must descend pretty fast and land on the often difficult-to-see runway.


Obviously, many flights arrive at the airport without issue – albeit with a few apprehensive passengers! If you're a nervous flyer, try entering Honduras through land via Guatemala or Nicaragua. The landing is an awful disaster for folks who have to fly in on a daily basis. Passengers are transported down a twisting valley before landing on a small runway.
