Flights at hundreds of Airports are in danger of being submerged and disrupted by rising sea levels, according to the new study.
More than 260 Airports around the globe are currently at risk of coastal flooding, and dozens could be below mean sea level by the turn of the century, the research published in the journal Climate risk management found.
Hundreds more could be in danger depending on the amount of sea level rise driven by global warming between now and 2100.
Airports in Asia and The Pacific topped the list. Researchers looked at several different factors to come up with the rankings, including the likelihood of flooding from extreme sea levels, flood protection and the impact on the flights. They found that up to one- fifth of air travel routes could be affected.
