Accuracy for US and I presume for most other countries[edit]

When we access List of airports in the United States and search for "international" 166 results come up, but the list on this page has only 100; the list on this page http://www.gomapper.com/travel/list-of-international-airports-in/united-states-of-america.html has 153 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ingearx (talk • contribs) 01:31, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy and criteria[edit]

Ladies and gentlemen, this list looks inaccurate even at at a first glance. I won't even bother checking if the empoverished and totalitarian Cuba maintains FIVE full-time airports and receives international flights there. Because it, most obviously, doesn't.

I suggest establishing the criteria for an "international airport" and obtaining reliable list of such from some non-amateur aviation body like the ICAO. Until that, this list may well be tagged as inaccurate. Happy edits, Ukrained2012 (talk) 12:43, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quite possible. I see a few listings here of airports which have no scheduled international services and are merely claiming to be "international" because they could call a customs agent in on an hour or two notice for general aviation arrivals. See international airport, section "international in name only". K7L (talk) 02:19, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've just added Hobart International Airport, which does not have regular international flights but does host charter flights as well as flights to Antarctic bases. I added it on the basis that I checked a coule of "international in name only" airports from international airport, and they were on this list. If there is lack of consensus on whether these airports should be included then I suggest a separate table or list at the end of the article, or some sort of marker next to the name in the existing lists, could be used. -- Chuq (talk) 07:29, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed Syracuse to Syracuse Hancock International Airport, which does technically qualify as Air Canada has one flight SYR-YYZ. Syracuse is not in Rochester. 2001:5C0:1000:A:0:0:0:265 (talk) 22:50, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suspicious regional division (Central/Eastern Europe)[edit]

Good afternoon, I see no reason why Poland and Romania are "Southern and Central Europe", while the Czech Republic and Slovakia Eastern Europe. Is Poland more central than Czechia? --Zik (talk) 15:18, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Australian airports[edit]

Given the description "They include airports which are typically equipped with customs and immigration facilities to handle international flights to and from other nations.", it seems like a few airports is missing from Australia (as seen from the link). A notable one is Avalon Airport in Melbourne, which has scheduled international flights, and is described as an international airport on Wikipedia. The last 3 airports are already in the page, but listed as islands.

My understanding it that if it has border control and customs and operates international routes then it is an international airport. I will add it. Ajf773 (talk) 22:13, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Missing items[edit]

IXC CHANDIGARH AIRPORT CODE ARE MISSING IN LIST ZIA and OGL are missing. They don’t meet criteria for including or I can add them? And, at all, is this list said to be complete? 217.117.125.83 (talk) 11:55, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Split into different articles[edit]

I propose we split this into articles per continent. It's too long. StillNoEyeDeer (talk) 21:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree - The List is too long. GeographicAccountant (talk) 23:07, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At least, add an index, so we can know what the countries are, and move efficiently to the one we want.[edit]

Does the table of contents not already serve that function? Ajf773 (talk) 19:19, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
