International Airports

Domestic Airports

• A domestic airport is an airport which handles only domestic flights or flights within the same country.

• These airports normally have short runways which are sufficient to handle short/medium haul aircraft.

Regional Airports

• A regional airport is an airport serving traffic within a relatively small or lightly populated geographical area.

• A regional airport usually does not have customs and immigration facilities to process traffic between countries.

• Aircraft using these airports tend to be smaller business jets or private aircraft (general aviation).
