A National Airport (also called internal or domestic airport) is an airport serving domestic flights only, interior to the
same country, also called domestic flights. The airports lack national customs offices and passport control and
therefore can not serve flights coming from or going to a foreign airport.
These airports are generally short tracks where only small planes can maneuver and where they operate general
aviation (ie non-commercial, air taxi, medical flights, charter, etc.). In many countries lack of security checks and
metal scanners, but gradually have been incorporated.

customs services, health, migrations and other complementary.
