Insights by country

Guatemala

In 1995, Guatemala ranked #82 globally with a total of 528 airports. This number is relatively high compared to its Central American neighbors, reflecting a significant investment in air transport infrastructure. The country's diverse geography, which includes mountainous regions, necessitates a variety of airport types, including 360 airports with unpaved runways to serve remote areas. Additionally, the growth of tourism and trade has driven the development of aviation facilities in Guatemala.

Saint Kitts and Nevis

In 1995, Saint Kitts and Nevis ranked #163 globally with a total of 2 airports. This is relatively low compared to many Caribbean nations, where larger islands often have more extensive airport networks to support tourism. The limited number of airports reflects the country's small geographic size and population, which influences its transportation infrastructure and economic focus on tourism and agriculture.

Holy See

In 1995, Holy See had a global rank of #86 with none for Airports. This places it among the lowest in the world, especially when compared to its neighboring countries, which typically have at least one airport to facilitate travel and transport. The absence of airports is primarily due to Holy See's small geographic size, being an independent city-state entirely surrounded by Rome, Italy, which serves as its main point of access.

Iran

In 1995, Iran ranked #92 globally with a total of 261 airports. This number is notably higher than many of its regional neighbors, reflecting Iran's strategic geographic position and the necessity for extensive air travel infrastructure. The country's diverse terrain and significant population centers have driven investment in airport facilities, although international sanctions have impacted the development and modernization of these assets.

Ireland

In 1995, Ireland ranked #94 globally with a total of 44 airports. This number is relatively low compared to larger European nations, reflecting Ireland's smaller population and geographic size. The country's airport infrastructure is shaped by its economic focus on tourism and international business, which drives demand for air travel, while also influenced by its island geography that necessitates robust air connectivity.

Belgium

In 1995, Belgium ranked #16 globally with a total of 43 airports. This places Belgium above many of its neighbors, reflecting its strategic location in Europe, which benefits both passenger and cargo traffic. The country's developed infrastructure and high population density contribute to a robust aviation sector, facilitating trade and tourism in a region characterized by dense connectivity.

Angola

In 1995, Angola ranked #6 globally with a total of 289 Airports. This number is significantly higher than many neighboring countries in Southern Africa, reflecting Angola's strategic investment in its aviation infrastructure following years of civil conflict. The country’s extensive network of airports, including 4 with paved runways over 3,047 meters, supports its economic recovery and facilitates connectivity across its vast territory, which is essential for trade and tourism.

Cook Islands

The Cook Islands ranked #46 globally in 1995, with a total of 7 airports, including 1 paved runway and 6 unpaved runways. This number is relatively modest compared to larger nations, reflecting the country's small size and population. The key drivers behind this statistic include the Cook Islands' geographic isolation in the South Pacific and a reliance on tourism, which necessitates air travel for both visitors and residents.

Cyprus

In 1995, Cyprus ranked #50 globally with a total of 15 Airports. This figure is notable considering the island's smaller size compared to larger nations, which typically have more extensive airport networks. Cyprus's strategic geographic location in the Eastern Mediterranean enhances its connectivity, supporting tourism and trade, while the development of infrastructure has been driven by the need to accommodate increasing air traffic from Europe and the Middle East.

France

In 1995, France ranked #66 globally with a total of 476 Airports. This number is significant when compared to its neighbor Germany, which had a higher airport count, reflecting France's extensive transportation network. The country's large land area and central location in Europe facilitate robust air travel, supported by a strong tourism sector and a well-developed infrastructure, making air travel an essential component of its economy.
