Unique airport with railway crossing the runway

Gisborne Airport in New Zealand is one of the most unique and unusual airports in the world as the main runway is cut across by a railway.

Gisborne Airport

Located on the east coast of the North Island, Gisborne is considered one of the most dangerous airports in the world due to the railway tracks that intersect the runway. Planes can take off or land just metres from the train, creating exciting and unexpected moments for both pilots and passengers.

Thanks to close coordination between air traffic controllers and railway dispatchers, flights and trains are operated safely.

Train running across airport runway

Gisborne Airport may not be large, but it offers a unique experience that cannot be found elsewhere. The airport’s runway shares space with the Gisborne-Napier railway, creating an unexpected meeting of the two modes of transport.

Gisborne is a popular tourist destination with its pristine beaches, lush vineyards and stunning natural scenery. It is also one of the first places in the world to see the sunrise each day.
