The global network of airports plays a crucial role in connecting people worldwide. Recent data from the CIA provides insights into which countries have the most airports, highlighting their importance in aviation.

The United States leads with 15,873 airports, significantly more than any other country. This is attributed to its large population spread across vast areas. Notably, five of the world's largest airports by area are located in the US, including Denver International Airport. Additionally, four of the busiest airports globally are in the US, with Atlanta's airport leading.

Brazil ranks second with 4,919 airports. São Paulo Guarulhos International Airport stands out as Brazil's busiest airport and South America's busiest by passenger numbers.
