I see lots of videos where planes (so their pilots..) struggle while they are landing because of air conditions. so if windy air is problem for plane, why we didn’t built airports to no-wind areas at the first place?
In: Earth Science
All runways are built into the direction of the prominent winds for the area. The wind flowing over the wing, from front to back actually helps airplanes take off and land. Ironically once you are in the air, wind at your back is far more beneficial.
Also keep in mind those videos you see are just a very small percentage of the total number of airplanes that take off and land in any given day.
