Countries Without an Airport

Airports are among the most important structures that provide the connection between countries in today’s world. In this sense, cities with airports are more capable of development in many ways. So, do you think there are countries in the world that do not have airports?

 Perhaps you think of countries in the undeveloped remote corners of Africa or even the wild regions of Asia. But you are wrong. All of the countries that do not have an airport in the world are in the European continent. As you can easily guess if you think about it for a bit, these countries are extremely small in terms of surface area. I think it has become clear now… Since there is not enough wide area in these countries on the European continent, there is no airport. Monaco, San Marino, Andorra, Liechtenstein and Vatican are countries that do not have an airport.
