This is a list of countries by total number of airports mostly based on The World Factbook [1] accessed in June 2008.

CIA World Factbook gives the total number of airports or airfields recognizable from the air. The runway(s) may be paved (concrete or asphalt surfaces) or unpaved (grass, earth, sand, or gravel surfaces) and may include closed or abandoned installations. Airports or airfields that are no longer recognizable (overgrown, no facilities, etc.) are not included. Note that not all airports have accommodations for refueling, maintenance, or air traffic control.[2]

Note, that heliports are listed on the separate list of countries by number of heliports.
