Photographs of an airplane navigating a steep descent over a busy road at St Bart’s, has shown how dangerous a journey to the luxury holiday island can be.

The airplane, appears to be only a few feet away from a hill top roundabout, as it attempts to land at the luxurious Carribbean isle which has become a relaxation spot for the world’s rich and famous.

The small silver coloured plane seem to narrowly miss a motorbike rider, just before reaching the tiny runway on the island.

According to Daily Mail report:

The airstrip at Gustaf III airport is so small that pilots are required to have special training just to be able to land there.

And on a windy day the journey in can be even scarier, while planes departing the airport almost skim the heads of sunbathers making the most of the good weather.

The airport, situated in the village of St John, has been rated the world’s third most dangerous by History Channel programme Most Extreme Airports, although it has also topped polls for the best approach.

St Bart’s, or St Barthelemy, has long been the destination of choice for many wealthy celebrities, including recent visitors Princess Beatrice, Olivia Palermo and George Lucas, especially during the winter months.

However, stars such as Simon Cowell and Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich tend to avoid the airport and arrive by yacht.
