Gisborne Airport in New Zealand is notorious for being one of the most intimidating places for landings since its main runway crosses a railway line. Air traffic controllers must carefully manage flight schedules alongside the train timetable, although the train runs infrequently, just 15 times a year. This vintage steam train operates the scenic route between Gisborne and Muriwai, adding a unique charm to the area. Beyond its airport quirks, Gisborne is celebrated for its stunning surf beaches, wineries, and its reputation as the first city in the world to greet the sunrise.
Gisborne Airport is considered one of the world’s scariest places to land due to its main runway intersecting with a railway line.
Air traffic controllers must coordinate the airport's schedule with the Gisborne City Vintage Railway, which operates only 15 times a year.
