Crazy Airport Names

What would you do if you looked at your plane ticket and saw that you were flying to Batman Airport? Right, laugh out loud of course! And the fun part is, it's real! There are a lot more crazy names for airports all over the world.

1. Batman Airport

This crazy name has been spotted for years, but no less funny. If you're a fan of heroes, this is an airport you should definitely see. There's just one little thing... It's a regional airfield in the east of Turkey. So if you want to get there, unfortunately it's going to take a while. Who knows, you might actually run into Batman.

2. Deadhorse Airport

It's a small airport, but the name is a bit depressing, especially if you also like horses a lot. In the state of Alaska you will find Deadhorse Airport, which is named after the town (you guessed it) Deadhorse.

3. Fak Fak Airport

This name may be a bit coarser, but in Indonesia they don't worry about that. The town where the airport is located is called FakFak. For the locals this is quite normal, but we can link it to a commonly used swear word. Luckily it is not a big airport, so the name will not offend so many people.

4. Raspberry Strait Airport

We haven't finished with the crazy names in America yet, because for the people who live in Raspberry Strait (a place in America), this name will probably be quite normal. We Dutch people think of raspberry as a Raspberry, which makes this name a bit weird for us. But hey, fortunately this name sounds very cheerful!

5. Danger Bay Airport

Airplanes and danger, hmm... It often doesn't sound good together and certainly doesn't reassure you when you fly. Yet in America you will find the Danger Bay Airport in the state of Alaska. Because the name didn't sound very good in the aviation industry, the airport has been closed and replaced by another one. Luckily there’s no danger to worry about anymore!
