5 Smallest Airports Around The World

1. Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport (SAB) – Saba Island, Caribbean

Known for having the shortest commercial runway in the world, this airport is perched on a cliff with dramatic views of the Caribbean Sea.

2. Barra Airport (BRR) – Scotland

The only airport in the world where scheduled flights use a beach as the runway. Flights are timed according to the tides, as the runways are submerged during high tide.

3. Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA) – Lukla, Nepal

Known for its challenging approach, this airport is the main gateway for climbers heading to Mount Everest. The runway is short and slopes uphill to help planes slow down.

4. Morgantown Municipal Airport (MGW) – West Virginia, USA

A small regional airport serving mostly domestic flights. Its size is modest, catering primarily to local travelers and private planes.

5. Kansai International Airport's Second Runway (Rinku Town Heliport) – Japan

Although Kansai International itself is a large airport, its secondary facilities like the Rinku Town Heliport are notably small. It is used for helicopter flights and light aircraft services.
