The unique Gustaf III Airport St Barts (SBH) on the Caribbean Island of Saint Barthelemy is the third most dangerous airport in the world, one place ahead of SXM Airport St. Maarten.
The video shows a spectacular landing of the Winair De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter (PH-WII) coming from St.Marten.
St Barts landing places high demands on the pilots and that's because: the approach takes place over a hill with a lot of car traffic, then a steep descent to the runway RWY 28 with only 646 meters and this ends just before the sea.
On the hill, the planes fly just a few meters above the car traffic and the descent is often complicated by gusty crosswinds.
The new Airport name now is: Aéroport Rémy de Haenen (SBH).
