The world is very big and every corner here has its own specialty. Some places have excellent tourism facilities while some people want to reach there just for adventure. Somewhere there are beautiful beaches and somewhere there are sky touching mountains. It is a different matter that to reach anywhere, it is necessary to have a safe way to reach there.
However, due to natural conditions, there are still many places where people cannot reach easily. There is also an island near Scotland, where there is a very strange airport. The specialty of this airport is that its runway can disappear at any time during the day.
Runway disappears
According to the report of Daily Star, there is an island named Barra on the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Apart from its beauty and beautiful beaches, this place is known for another specialty. In fact, the runway of the airport here disappears and then appears again every day. There is no scary or haunted story behind this, but it happens because the runway for landing flights on the island is built on the beach itself. There is a beach based landing strip at Cockle Strand. Planes land directly here. When the waves are high and strong, the entire runway disappears.
Flights land daily
The interesting thing is that despite all this, flights land here every day. It is a different matter that one has to take special care of timing and descend only when there is no sea water there. Apart from this separate airport, there is greenery, beautiful white sand and calm sea shores. This is the reason why it is a popular tourist destination for British people.
