Domestic airport

A domestic airport is an aviation facility that caters specifically to flights that operate within the same country where the airport is located. This type of airport is primarily designed to serve the needs of domestic travelers seeking to travel within their own country without crossing international borders. Unlike other international airports that cater to international destinations, domestic airports rarely operate flights beyond the national borders. Domestic airports play an essential role in supporting national tourism, business, and trade within the country. They may serve as a hub for domestic airlines seeking to connect different cities within the same country. Domestic airports have several facilities for passenger convenience, such as lounges, restaurants, shops, and other amenities to cater to the needs of travelers. They also provide sufficient infrastructure to support aircraft parking, passenger check-in, security, and aircraft maintenance.
