This is alist of countries (sovereign states) and territories without an airport.
Of the world'sindependent states,[1] only fiveEuropean microstates have no airport within their boundaries, though all have at least oneheliport. All apart from Monaco arelandlocked. (Liechtenstein isdoubly landlocked.)
| Country | Notes |
|---|---|
 Andorra | Andorra has no airport,[2] but has three private heliports, one of which is a hospital helipad. A "National Heliport" is planned to be built, but the process is currently stalled.[3] By both population and land area, it is the largest country not to have an airport. InSpain, the nearest airports areAndorra–La Seu d'Urgell Airport (12 km away),Lleida–Alguaire Airport andGirona–Costa Brava Airport. InFrance, the nearest airports areCarcassonne Airport andPerpignan–Rivesaltes Airport.[4] The nearest major airports areJosep Tarradellas Barcelona–El Prat Airport in Spain andToulouse–Blagnac Airport in France, which are the most common choice for long-distance travel to Andorra. |
 Liechtenstein | Liechtenstein has no airport, but has a heliport in the southern town ofBalzers.[5][6] The nearest airports areSt. Gallen–Altenrhein Airport inSwitzerland andFriedrichshafen Airport inGermany, which have few scheduled flights. The nearest major airport isZürich Airport in Switzerland, which has rail services toBuchs andSargans.[7] From these towns, one can catch apostal bus[7] or atrain to Liechtenstein. |
 Monaco | Monaco has no airport, but hasMonaco Heliport in the district ofFontvieille.[8] The nearest major airport isNice Côte d'Azur Airport inFrance.[9] |
 San Marino | San Marino has no airport,[10] but has one heliport inBorgo Maggiore and a smallairfield calledTorraccia airfield inTorraccia with a 680-metre (2,230-foot) grass runway. The nearest airports inItaly areFederico Fellini International Airport in Rimini, and the much largerBologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. |
 Vatican City | Vatican City has no airport, but hasVatican City Heliport in the western corner, which is used by visiting heads of state and Vatican officials.[11] The small land area of 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) would make it challenging to fit in an airport.[12] The nearest major airports inItaly areCiampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport andLeonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport, both serving the city of Rome. |
