About: Countries by Total Number of Airports 2024
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by the total number of airports, airfields, and landing strips within their territory in 2024 according to CIA World Factbook and ICAO data. The United States has more airports than any other country in the world with over 13,000 — a network that reflects the country's size, its historically private aviation culture, the extensive small aircraft ownership among rural Americans, and the lack of high-speed rail alternatives that make air travel the only practical long-distance option across vast stretches of the interior.
