America is the birthplace of aviation; the country’s wide air transport networks are a testament to this fact. The quality of infrastructure relative to other countries places the United States at the top of the global aviation market. For this reason, the country is home to some of the largest airports in the world.
The FAA estimates that about 14,400 airports, heliports, and seaplane bases in the country are used for private purposes only. And 5,000 of these facilities are available to the general public. They manage over two-thirds of global aviation traffic and more than half of all international air travel.
