You must have at least one flight to Canada or Mexico from your local airport.

What about the rest of the world?
In Belgium, it's Brussels National Airport (EBBR) but Ostend International Airport (EBOS). Though in Brussels all the heavy traffic comes, in Ostend something like five flights a day (the rest are all cessna's, pipers,...). Then why is EBOS International and EBBR National??

From what I know the International Airport has to be an
"Airport of Entry" (with customs and everything with that).

I seriously think I just creamed my pants without any influence from any outside variables.

Your airport probably has a US Customs facility and possibly companies that import, process and re-export some type of goods. The airport is also more than likely used by international cargo airlines.

This has been discussed to death for a long time. But since you are new here I'll give the answer again. The only criteria to be an international airport is to have customs service available. Nothing else. Douglas AZ has an international airport that can't handle any aircraft larger than a light twin.

What is it with all the "is there a possibilty airline X will.." threads? The answer it'll is possible.
