Kai Tak International Airport




Hong Kong’s Kai Tak International Airport (now closed) was legendary for its approach procedure, which was offset 90 ... all » degrees from the runway heading. Pilots of even the largest jumbo jets had to make a tight turn at low altitude just seconds before touching down. Here, a Korean Airlines 747 makes what, believe it or not, is a typical approach into this airport.
