Insights by country

Albania

In 2022, Albania ranked #2 globally with a total of 3 airports. This impressive rank is notable when compared to neighboring countries, many of which have fewer airports relative to their size and population. The high number of airports in Albania can be attributed to its strategic location along the Adriatic Sea, which supports tourism and trade, and the government's efforts to enhance connectivity and infrastructure development.

Eritrea

Eritrea ranks #59 globally with a total of 13 airports in 2022. This number is relatively low compared to neighboring countries, such as Djibouti, which has a more developed airport infrastructure. The limited number of airports in Eritrea is largely due to its challenging geographic terrain and ongoing economic constraints, which impact the development of transportation infrastructure.

Cameroon

In 2022, Cameroon ranked #31 globally with a total of 33 airports. This figure is notable compared to its neighbor Nigeria, which has significantly more airports, highlighting Cameroon's developing aviation infrastructure. The country's strategic location in Central Africa and its diverse geography drive the need for enhanced connectivity, supporting economic activities and regional trade.

Sint Maarten (Dutch part)

Sint Maarten (Dutch part) has a total of 1 airport in 2022, ranking #133 out of 212 countries. This number is notably low compared to many Caribbean nations that typically have multiple airports to support tourism. The single airport serves as a crucial hub for the island's economy, heavily reliant on tourism, which constitutes a significant portion of its GDP and employment. Additionally, Sint Maarten's small geographic size limits the feasibility of expanding airport infrastructure.

New Zealand

In 2022, New Zealand ranked #136 globally with a total of 123 airports. This number is relatively low compared to its regional neighbors, reflecting the country's smaller population and land area. The geographical isolation of New Zealand, combined with its focus on tourism and agriculture, drives the need for a well-distributed airport network to facilitate both domestic and international travel.

Paraguay

In 2022, Paraguay ranked #146 globally with a total of 799 airports. This figure is relatively low compared to regional counterparts like Brazil, which has a significantly larger network of airports supporting its vast territory and population. The number of airports in Paraguay is influenced by its geographic size and population density, as the country has a limited urban spread and relies heavily on road transport for domestic travel.

Kiribati

Kiribati ranks #74 globally with a total of 19 airports in 2022. This number is relatively low compared to larger nations, reflecting the country's geographic isolation in the central Pacific Ocean. The limited number of airports is largely due to Kiribati's small land area and dispersed islands, which makes extensive infrastructure development challenging. Additionally, the reliance on air transport for connectivity underscores the importance of these airports for tourism and trade in this remote nation.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

In 2022, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines ranked #165 globally with a total of 6 airports. This number is relatively low compared to regional neighbors such as Barbados, which has more extensive airport infrastructure. The limited number of airports reflects the country's small geographic size and population, which influences the demand for air travel and connectivity in the Eastern Caribbean.

Georgia

In 2022, Georgia ranked #69 globally with a total of 22 airports. This number is relatively low compared to neighboring countries, such as Armenia, which has fewer airports, indicating a modest aviation infrastructure in the region. The country's strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, along with its growing tourism sector, drives the development of its airport facilities, facilitating increased connectivity and economic growth.

Serbia

In 2022, Serbia ranked #169 globally with a total of 26 airports. This number is relatively low compared to regional neighbors like Croatia, which has a more developed airport infrastructure. The limited number of airports in Serbia can be attributed to its smaller population and the country's ongoing economic development, which has historically impacted investment in transportation infrastructure.
