Airports by Number of Airlines Based in a Different Continent

[dimondpark]

I tried to only look at airports with 20 million+ passengers in 2025 but included Buenos Aires because it's a megacity and a few others because they are close to 20M or they are important in their countries, like Monterrey.

Airlines come and go fairly frequently from airports so these numbers fluctuate often, but this is just a snapshot of today.

This is very, very volatile and changes all the time, but this is a snapshot for today, for airports in the Americas. Maybe I can do others later...any mistakes being pointed out are appreciated.

Airports by number of Airlines based in other continents
JFK--62--New York-John F Kennedy International Airport

...

JFK--62
Aer Lingus, Air China, Air Europa, Air France, Air India, Air New Zealand, Air Serbia, All Nippon Airways, Arkia, Asiana Airlines

Austrian Airlines, Avianca, Avianca Ecuador, Azores Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines

Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian, Saudia, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, TAP Air Portugal, Turkish Airlines, Uzbekistan Airways

I think you're missing EVA Air and Lufthansa for JFK. I think the total count will be 63 will those included.

[downtownpdx]

Portland /PDX didn’t quite make the list, it’s about 19 million passengers and has 4 — IcelandAir, Condor, British Airways and KLM. Cathay Pacific for cargo only. Still trying to secure nonstop Asian passenger service after it was lost during Covid.

[plinko]

I'd be curious about LHR and SYD.

LHR would probably have as many or more than JFK, but London is much closer to other continents than any city in North America. North Africa is about the same distance from London as Miami is from New York. London to the Middle East is about the same distance as New York to San Francisco.

[Docere]

US/Canada as percentage of JFK:

1. New York JFK 100
2. Los Angeles LAX 74
3. San Francisco SFO 63
4. Toronto-Pearson YYZ 60
5. Miami MIA 56
6. Washington-Dulles IAD 50
7. Chicago-O'Hare ORD 48
8. Vancouver YVR 45
9. Boston-Logan BOS 42
10. Seattle-Tacoma SEA 35
11. Newark-Liberty EWR 32
12. Orlando MCO 27
13. Montreal-Trudeau YUL 27
14. Dallas-Fort Worth DFW 24
15. Atlanta-Hartsfield ATL and Houston IAH 19

Considering that Hawaii is not technically part of any continent, wouldn't all airlines serving Honolulu, other than Hawaiian Airlines, be based on other continents?

[BnaBreaker]

Not that it really matters but just for the sake of your list, three airlines are listed for Nashville but two is the number it was given. Also I'm guessing they just didn't count Canadian or Mexican airlines, because Nashville also has Air Canada, WestJet, Porter, and Viva.

Anyway, very interesting list! Fun to sift through... thanks for sharing!

[SIGSEGV]

Supposedly HiSky was supposed to start flights ORD to OTP this summer but so far, no,?

[Streamliner]

SAN needs to be updated. San Diego has regular service from KLM. So it should be listed as 4 airlines.

Air France comes on occassion, but it's not regular.

[AviationGuy]

Avianca, based in South America, serves Houston IAH.

[dimondpark]

I added Heathrow, Narita and Haneda, and Melbourne & Sydney, and Charles de Gaulle

ya know I thought about that, Avianca El Salvador serves a few airports in the US, and yes, Avianca in Bogota is the parent company of Avianca El Salvador, but since the latter is based in San Salvador, I just kept it at that, but yes, you are correct.

Does anyone know why the major flag carriers of the big Southeast Asian countries (other than Singapore and Philippine Airlines) have almost no presence in North America?

Like there are no flights for Thai Airways International, Malaysia Airlines and Garuda International, and Vietnam Airlines only flies to SFO.

JFK may be too far (although SQ and PR both fly there), but LAX is within easy range.

Thai Airways International used to fly to JFK and LAX, that service ended years ago, they had floated the idea of BKK-SFO or BKK-SEA but that hasnt materialized, I was certain that United begin a BKK-SFO route but instead they recently began a LAX-HKG-BKK route.

As far as Malaysia, AsiaAirX used to have A380 flights from Kuala Lumpur to Honolulu.

Vietnam Airlines to SFO is an oddity considering how many more Vietnamese live in the LA Metro Area, but this SFO-SGN flights are highly business passenger oriented because the airline keeps about 100 seats empty on each flight so the fuel can make it all the way from one airport to the next without having to refuel. Maybe the tech passengers are making it financially worth it?

And Garuda Indonesia used to fly to HNL and LAX but that's been long cancelled, but I digress.

Love this list!

Simple distance. The sheer size of the Pacific makes flights between the US and SE Asia uneconomical without the wealth of SQ or the Filipino ties to the US.

LA is closer to Delhi over the pole or Tel Aviv across the US, Atlantic, and Europe combined, than it is to Ho Chi Minh City across the Pacific.

Edited to add numbers:

LAX - MNL: 11,744 km
LAX - SYD: 12,013 km
LAX - TLV: 12,138 km
LAX - HAN: 12,317 km
LAX - DEL: 12,857 km
LAX - SGN: 13,136 km
LAX - BKK: 13,297 km
LAX - DXB: 13,405 km
LAX - SIN: 14,124 km

SFO is the better part of an hour closer -- the LAX-SGN great circle passes right by the Bay Area. So perhaps Vietnam Airlines goes with the shorter option for fuel reasons, and lets their US partner (Delta, SkyAlliance) handle a LAX code share?
