Indicator Summary
The term “Total Count of Airports” describes the total number of operating airports in a nation, including smaller airstrips utilised for civil aviation as well as domestic, regional, and international airports. Depending on the reporting system, this count may also include recently commissioned or under-development airports. It gives a detailed image of the aviation infrastructure that is available to facilitate regional connectivity, passenger travel, and cargo transit.
The number of airports directly affects the reach and accessibility of air travel, which makes this indicator crucial. Improved connectivity between large cities, isolated areas, and foreign locations is made possible by a greater number of airports. By promoting travel, commerce, and investment, it promotes economic growth. More airports give airlines the chance to increase routes, optimise fleet deployment, and investigate underserved markets.
Airport counts assist planners and policymakers in identifying areas that require better connectivity, evaluating infrastructure deficiencies, and setting priorities for growth under initiatives like regional connectivity plans. It shows investors and experts the level of development and maturity of a nation’s aviation industry. All things considered, the total number of airports is a fundamental measure of a country’s capacity to meet demand for air travel, foster regional growth, and fortify its entire transportation infrastructure.
