Private jet booking platform PrivateFly just released its list of “most scenic airports for landings,” and unsurprisingly to anyone who has ever flown over the verdant Land of Éire, Donegal Airport in Ireland tops the list.
To compile the list, PrivateFly gathered responses from 7,000 participants who nominated airports they believed to be the most scenic. According to Adam Twidell, CEO of PrivateFly, the poll is meant to encourage travelers to not just focus on disembarking and rushing through the airport, but to “stop, take a look through their aircraft window and be awestruck by the joy of flying.” The poll ranked 129 airports around the world, and for the second year in a row, Donegal Airport in north-west Ireland secured the number one spot, thanks to its dramatic surroundings of mountains and beaches.
