Thread: Aviation Quiz 27

Well Tony you have some right and some wrong answers. And did you just forget to answer question #7, or did you just throw in the towel?


Next.

Wow. Tony very good. How did you pound out 4 countries with no airports? Probably the same way I just did. Like this???? Call it using the internet as a tool, call it using leverage, call it what you want. I still call it the old fashioned CHEATING brudda!


List of countries without an airport


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jump to: navigation, search
Out of the 197 independent states,[1] only four have no airport within their boundaries. All of these are in Europe and have a heliport, and all apart from Monaco are landlocked or doubly landlocked.
No. Country Notes
1 Liechtenstein Currently, Liechtenstein only has a heliport in the southern town of Balzers.[2][3] The nearest international airports are St. Gallen-Altenrhein Airport in Switzerland and Friedrichshafen Airport in Germany, which have few scheduled flights. The nearest major airport is Zurich Airport in Switzerland, which has rail services to Buchs and Sargans.[4] From these towns, it is possible to catch a Postal Bus[4] or a train to Liechtenstein.
2 Andorra There is no airport in Andorra. The nearest airports are in Lleida, Barcelona, Toulouse and Girona.[5] By both population and by land area, Andorra is the largest country not to have an airport. However, there are three heliports.
3 Vatican City The nearest airport to the Vatican City is Rome Ciampino Airport. It would be physically impossible to fit a whole airport into the 0.44 km2 land area[6] of the Holy See, but there is a heliport in the western corner, which is used for visiting heads and officials of the city-state.[7]
4 Monaco Monaco does not have an airport, but there is a heliport in the Monagasque district of Fontvieille.[8] The nearest airport to Monaco is Cote d'Azur Airport in Nice, France.[9]

Spongebue, you too have some right and some wrong answers.
BTW, question #4 - “Miglandia''. An interesting answer, but Miglandia does have an airport. It’s not big, handles only small planes, but the maintenance hangar, now that’s world class.
