-389
meters below sea level
Bar Yehuda Airstrip near the Dead Sea sits 389 meters below sea level, making it the lowest airport on Earth.
Explication
Located in Israel's Jordan Rift Valley, Bar Yehuda Airstrip serves as a small regional facility near the Dead Sea resorts. The extreme low elevation means the air is exceptionally dense, which actually benefits aircraft performance by providing extra lift and engine thrust. The airport primarily handles light aircraft and charter flights.
