2. Toncontín Airport — Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Toncontín is built in a narrow valley surrounded by rugged hills, which forces pilots to make a sharp 45-degree turn just before landing. That alone makes it one of the most challenging approaches in the world. The runway is also short and ends abruptly near busy city streets. With frequent winds, high elevation, and tight navigation, even seasoned pilots find it intense and demanding.
