Strange Airports from around the world
Airports are be one of the most sophisticated building, however some airports just built on strange places due to the geographical factors. Here are a collection of some weirdest airports from around the world. I have no idea where are most of these airports located except the one above is from [Lukla Airport] in Nepal, and the [Altiport de Courchevel] in France.
** Thanks Peter for letting me know about [Gibraltar Airport] and Polopoyotohoyohoto7o for the spelling mistake.
[Altiport de Courchevel] in France
[Madeira Airport, Funchal, Santa Cruz]
[Princess Juliana International Airport]
[Vestmannaeyjar Island Airport, Iceland]
[Juancho Yrausquin Airport, Saba Island, Netherlands Antilles]

I think the one that links to http://www.picspay.com/gahsoon/main/jpg/Airport22/
(Tower in foreground, plane in background on right taxiing on pier like structure)
might be Macau.
That thing the plane is on isn’t really the runway - it’s just a taxiway that leads to the real runway.
