There's also AirAsia X, Silkair, Royal Brunei, Hongkong-based* (besides the already-mentioned Cathay Pacific & Dargonair) Hongkong Airlines, (plus others?), and the Singapore-based LCCs; Scoot, Tiger(TR), Jetstar Asia(3K).
Except AirAsia X, all are because of their countries' small size.
*Note that though HK is now politically part of China, its carriers' mainland destinations are considered international routes.

Not sure if you'll count TS, they fly domestically but only as part of international flights (and there is no way for the public to get tickets solely for the domestic legs, in Canada or in other countries).
Radial engines don't leak oil, they are just marking their territory!

Quoting HOONS90 (Reply 13): What about Copa Airlines Panama? I think the Colombian division has domestic flights, though.
Hey, Copa Airlines doesnt have domestic flights in Panama. If you count flights within Colombia, yes they... Example CTG-ADZ
For domestic flights in Panama you can choose Air Panama. Cheers!

To summarize, those are most airlines whose home countries are geographically small, that is a small area.
I would add to that list:
Sri Lankan Airlines.
Swiss, though they maybe fly GVA-ZRH but I'm not sure about that.
El Al, maybe, but I believe they fly Tel Aviv - Eilat.
The old Sabena used to fly out of BRU to Antwerp and Liege, with its former regional subsidiary DAT.
I would be more specific about EU airlines because all flights within the Schengen zone are now considered as domestic flights within Europe. If you can fly without a passport then your flight is considered as domestic.
If you talk about airlines that do not have any flights within their home country, then this list is correct.

I would add Virgin Atlantic.
They serve multiple points in the UK, but don't fly scheduled flights between them.
They are starting a subsidiary airline, Little Red, but it is operated by Aer Lingus (so a different airline).
Edit: As for Cathay Pacific, they don't operate any domestic in HKG (obvious reason), but they do fly between ADL and MEL, which is domestic in Australia (however, they cannot sell these seats), so they could possibly be considered as an airline that flies domestically depending on the definition.

That is technically incorrect. Flights within the Schengen Area are not domestic flights, even though on the surface they may appear to be. They are international flights between countries that have agreed to normally abolish border checks but, as per the Convention Implementing The Schengen Agreement, participating countries can conduct spot checks and retain the right to re-establish border checks at any time "where public policy or national security so require." To my knowledge, only France has done so, however, once during a period of heightened terrorist alert, and also ahead of high-risk soccer matches to keep certain hooligans from entering the country.
Quoting American 767 (Reply 18): If you can fly without a passport then your flight is considered as domestic.
Again, technically incorrect. There are numerous countries around the world that will accept a national ID from residents of certain other countries in lieu of a passport.

Indeed, For a long time Canadians did not need a passport to enter the United States. All you needed was a birth certificate and photo id like a drivers license.
I believe Canadians entering the Dominican Republic still don't need a passport. (this may have changed now though)

No can do!
So conversely, if you have to fly with a passport the flight must be an international one? Peninsular Malaysians are required to produce their passports when flying to East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak) but they are by no means international routes. (Actually the immigration rules between the West Malaysians & the East Malaysians are quirky and somewhat more complex than my simple statement - can any knowledgeable Malaysian or other a.netters expound further on this?)
Quoting American 767 (Reply 18):
"Airlines that won't allow you to fly at all if you don't have a passport"
How can that be as there are loads of airlines that fly both domestic and international destinations.
I am afraid that has now changed - Virgin have very recently started domestic flights from LHR to MAN/EDI/ABZ albeit the planes are provided by Aer Lingus.
