Big planes on a very dangerous runway

Heligoland Airport is located on the German island of Düne, approximately 70km from the mainland in the North Sea. Its runway is 1,575ft (480 meters) long, having been extended in 2006 from 1,312ft in order to meet EU regulations for commercial air traffic.

Regular flights are operated by regional airline OFD Ostfriesischer-Flug-Dienst to Heide-Büsum Airport and Sea-Airport Cuxhaven / Nordholz in northern Germany. Heide-Büsum Airport is in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, and features a short runway that measures 2,362ft.

To access the main Heligoland island, visitors can use a ferryboat from the port on the other side of Düne, which is accessed by a single taxi service.

The airport served as a military field during the Second World War. Having been destroyed by enemy attacks, it was later rebuilt in 1962.

In 1973, a Lufthansa pilot is said to have briefly touched down on Heligoland Airport’s runway in an empty Boeing 737 aircraft, followed by an immediate take-off. He was reportedly fired after this incident.

Runway length: 480 meters
