Question by AAGAAG: What determines if an airport is considered Regional or International?

I am a Flight Attendant for Delta Airlines and recently worked on a GPT (Gulf-port/Biloxi MS) to ATL (Atlanta GA) flight and noticed that they were calling GPT an international airport when in fact it doesn't have any scheduled airline service to an international city outside of the US. They also consider PFN (Panama City FL) an international airport. Pensacola has a way bigger airport big enough to use 757's and we call it a regional airport. Whats up with that?

The first answer is incorrect -- size has nothing to do with the designation. The only thing that makes an airport an international airport (as opposed to a regional airport) is the presence of customs and immigration facilities at the airport -- if it has these facilities, it can be designated as an international airport.

While international airports are typically larger than regional airports, this is not always the case -- the airport in Bellingham, Washington, for example, is an international airport because it has the proper facilities. The airport, however, is very small, with only a few commercial flights in and out of it each day -- and none of these flights are to destinations in Canada. It does, however, act as a port of entry for non-commercial planes flying into the US from Canada or other countries; thus, the need for the facilities.
