Source and method

The size classes used for United States (large, medium, small) come from OurAirports itself, a public domain source, snapshot of 2026-07-08, with heliports and closed fields left out of the count. Elevations arrive in feet and this site converts them to meters; every distance is haversine, in a straight line. Passenger traffic does not exist in the source, which is why the "main airport" title in United States is only a declared proxy, the table order. In the world ranking by large airports, United States sits in 1st place, next to China. The whole planet, country by country, lives in the airports of the world in numbers.
