How many Airports in US? The United States is home to one of the world’s most extensive aviation networks, with thousands of airports ranging from bustling international hubs to small general aviation airfields. As of recent counts, the U.S. has approximately 5,000 public-use airports. This includes around 500 commercial airports where airlines operate scheduled passenger flights. Major airports like Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta, Los Angeles International, and Chicago O'Hare serve as essential international and domestic gateways, handling millions of passengers every year. Beyond these major airports, the U.S. also has a vast network of smaller regional and general aviation airports, totaling roughly 14,000 when including private-use airfields. These smaller airports are invaluable, especially for rural areas, emergency medical services, and private pilots. Many of these smaller facilities are used for purposes beyond commercial travel, such as pilot training, air cargo, agricultural needs, and firefighting. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plays a critical role in managing and overseeing this extensive system, ensuring safety and efficiency across all U.S. airspace. This diverse network of airports reflects the country’s high demand for air travel and the aviation industry's central role in connecting people, businesses, and communities across vast distances. The U.S. airport system stands as a model for accessibility and aviation infrastructure worldwide.
