How the numbers were counted
The airport, its IATA and ICAO codes, operator and coordinates come from a hand-made list of 39 commercial airports, checked on 24 September 2026. Distances are straight lines from the airport point, not routes.
The main town is the island's seat or largest town if it is within 25 km, otherwise the nearest city or town on the same landmass, otherwise the main settlement of the municipality. Something is "across the water" when it is on another island, or on the mainland while the airport is on an island (or the reverse); a bay that cuts into the coast does not count. Island outlines are from OpenStreetMap.
Beaches, towns and islands are listed only when they have a page of their own.
