Why the airport in Saba is unique

Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport (SAB) has the shortest commercial runway in the world - just 1,312 feet (400 meters) long, flanked on one side by high hills, with cliffs that drop into the sea at both ends. And as you might imagine, it's regularly rated by airline pilots as among the world's most challenging at which to land!
