5. LaGuardia Airport — New York City, USA
LaGuardia’s location in the middle of a densely populated area and next to the East River presents multiple challenges. The runways are short and surrounded by water, and there’s very little space for emergency landings.
Weather can also be unpredictable, with fog, snow, or rain often affecting visibility. The airport’s outdated design adds to the stress, forcing pilots to make steep approaches and land quickly.
