The length of the runways of the airport is quite impressive, corresponding to 3,500 and 4,000 meters. Kansai is one of the most dangerous airports in the world, despite the excellent infrastructure and the good equipment of the runways. Only the certified pilots are allowed to land on the artificial island. Kansai is a good example that even the airport located in the hard-to-reach location can be relatively safe at the decent level of equipment. Next - Congonhas Airport
