Talk:Airport of entry

Airport of entry
"Airport of entry" is an international aviation term, NOT US-centric. That said, the two articles need to be merged, as they cover identical ground. Choose one term that is "worldwide" in scope and merge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.185.109.130 (talk) 19:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

There seem to be lots and lots of airports missing - one certain example is Bristol International Airport in the UK (which has flights to the US), but my gut feeling tells me there are lots and lots of airports missing in Germany and particularly France. Also, since Great Britain didn't join the Schengen treaty, lots of small airports in continental Europe that otherwise handle flights from within the Schengen zone have small customs and immigration units for flights from Great Britain and other non-Schengen members. And there are LOTS of those airports, almost all of the passenger ones in Germany (places like Leipzig, Hahn etc...). The whole definition, at least with the list as it stands, seems to be US-centric indeed to me... Quark999 (talk) 09:58, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * yep, i totally agree with that. i mean: there are more us airports listed than in the whole lot of europe. but - because of the "small" european countries compared to the large size of the usa - almost every mid-sized european airport is an international one, and even major european airports are missing. scotland has 4 entries, france only 3 - with france having more than 10 times more people living there... And hence, the whole article should be rewritten. an explaining article wihtout any kind of list - that would be something more serious. 91.17.30.7 (talk) 18:42, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

US section
Shouldn't Puerto Rico be included under the United States' section? The current state suggests that PR has its own customs and immigration which to my knowledge is false as it's technically part of the United States (not the debate here). To that end, shouldn't non-US airports that provide US customs and immigration be included under the United States as well (such as Shannon and Dublin, and the various others in Canada and the Caribbean)? -- M PD T / C 05:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
