What do you mean by "everywhere in the world"? MUC is 30 km away from the city, KRK is in a village next to the city, LHR is within "Greater London", Singapore

What do you mean by "everywhere in the world"?
MUC is 30 km away from the city, KRK is in a village next to the city, LHR is within "Greater London", Singapore Airport is 20 km away form the city, separated by a forest, etc.
Lisbon's airport is indeed part of the city. So is London City or Gibraltar - but I wild day that they are exceptions.
CDG and ORY are reasonably close to Paris to be called Paris airport.
BVA is a stretch, it is called Paris-Beauvais but is actually in a different region, 120 km away from Paris. But the Paris Airports site does not refer to it.
- rakoo 3y agoThat's what I mean: it's not in the same city, it's in another one. For historical reasons of course, and it's not necessarily a bad thing, but it has to be taken into account: 30km can take a long time with public transportation, and the very existence of a special shuttle in many places is an additional proof, especially when said shuttle isn't exactly cheap. There are exceptions, and that is good, but it's that: exceptions.
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoNo, they are not exceptions. This is a mix, I have no idea about the percentage but the few ones I checked are in both camps - MUC: outside of the city - KRK: outside of the city - LHR: OK, right at the border of Greater London - OHR: added specifically to Chicago, it was outside before - BVA: outside the city - LTN: outside the city - FRA: inside the city (it is an extension)
- rakoo 3y agoWhat matters is not whether they are inside or outside the city, it's that they are always far away from the center (where people actually want to go) so taking the actual location of the airport isn't a proper way to represent the real travel
