1. St Maarten Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM), Karibik
Sie haben gesagt:
"It's a gorgeous approach over the clear blue sea, white sand beach with hills in the background. The beach goers can almost touch the landing gear as planes make their landing. It's unbelievable, a aircraft lover's dream. No where else in the world can you get so close to the variety of aircraft. Anything from a 747 to a twin otter."
Die Jury hat gesagt:
Patrick Jephson (Editor of Hawker Beechcraft Journey magazine): "Landing among the sun-loungers. Always a thrill."

Sie haben gesagt:
"A truly unique approach towards touchdown between two valleys. Awesome, thrilling experience."
Die Jury hat gesagt:
Peter Myers (Reuters Business Travel): "Landing at Paro is the first of many hair-raising experiences the adventurous visitor to this berserk Shangri-La-esque kingdom will likely be faced with. The aircraft weaves precariously through colossal never-summitted mountains, buffetted by treacherous winds, and before touching down comes dastardly close to taking a few picturesque roofs of nearby houses."
