Jakarta – Several countries around the world have unusual characteristics and it might sound unbelieveable but there indeed exist countries in the world that still don't have airports.
These nations have effectively demonstrated that possessing an airport isn't always a requirement and have mastered the art of resource sharing with their neighbouring countries.
However, several locations, the absence of an airport is not a matter of choice, as their geographical limitations simply do not allow for one.
Read below to know more some countries without airport.
1. San Marino

Located at Vatican City, San Marino holds the distinction of being one of the world's oldest states. Surrounded by Italy, San Marino lacks access to the sea, and because of its small size, it does not possess an airport.
Fortunately, San Marino's relatively flat terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive road network, facilitating the movement of people out of the country and providing access to various parts of Italy in all directions.
One of the nearest airports is located in Rimini, Italy. Although this place is relatively small, it serves as a vital transportation hub for both locals and tourists visiting San Marino.
Additionally, travellers have access to a range of other nearby airports, including those in Bologna, Florence, Venice, and Pisa, which are frequently used for reaching the country.
2. Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is another small nation, with a perimeter of just under 75 km. Due to space constraints, even if Liechtenstein had desired to establish an airport, it would likely have to encroach on the territory partially crossing over the Rhine River to the east and nearing the Austrian mountains in the west.
In order to avoid any potential diplomatic conflicts with neighbouring countries, Liechtenstein opted to forgo the airport option.
As such, people here rely on cars or buses to access Zürich Airport, which is situated approximately 120 km away.
