There are four kinds of airport.

#1 International. The largest, busiest airports, taking flights from around the world. Usually has a very long runway. Eg:Los Angeles International airport is the second largest airport in the world.

#2 Regional. An airport that takes flights from around country/continent. Eg:Nanaimo Regional isn't the busiest airport around, but it'll get you around the continent.

#3 Local. The second smallest airport, usually has average facilities, only takes local flights. Eg:Qualicum Beach Local will take you as far as Vancouver and up-island, but thats it.

#4 Airstrip. Smallest of all airports, usually doesn't have normal airport facilities and can take only small aicraft. Eg:Tofino Airstrip has no facilities, but planes do land there.

Such airports r usually busy, day n nite, with heavyweight aircraft making hard landings n at times xperiencing tyre bursts. Would rather land on an bush airstrip, which is rarely used.

Seconded.

The problem with such airports is that every pilot wants to land there even when they are supposed to be landing at their home airport. This totally messes the structural set up of the airport. And as if this is not enough, the demand leads to an increase in landing fees and other demands only for the pilot to be disappointed on landing. You might find yourself landing your single engine plane just hours after a boeing 747 has landed.
