Innsbruck Airport sounds like a nervous flyer's nightmare. The runway has a notoriously difficult approach due to the surrounding mountains and Alpine winds, and only certain types of aircraft are even allowed to land there. It's a Category C airport, meaning pilots require special training before they can use it.
