Asociatia Romana a Operatorilor din Aviatie a realizat o harta a aeroporturilor din Europa, enumerand cate aerodromuri detine fiecare stat european.
Conform definitiei date de EASA, aerodromul este o suprafata definitia a unui aeroport, utilizata pentru sosirea, pelcarea si miscarea la sol a aeronavelor. Aerodromurile pot fi piste de aterizate, heliporturi, aerporturi si baze aeriene militare.
Desi aerodromul face de obicei parte din aeroport, nu toate zonele unui aeroport sunt incluse în reglementarile UE privind siguranta pe aerodromuri. Reglementarile se aplica numai infrastructurii utilizate de aeronave, acesta fiind asadar motivul pentru care se utilizeaza termenul tehnic „aerodrom”.
Aflam astfel ca, de departe, locul fruntas in pozitia aerodromurilor detinute pe teritoriul tarii il ocupa Franta (1706 aerodromuri), urmata Marea Britanie (1516 aerodromuri), Germania (1367 aerodromuri), Rusia (1217 aerodromuri), Italia (940 aerodromuri).
In ce priveste tara noastra, Romania are inregistrate 143 de aerodromuri, in comparatie cu vecinii nostri bulgari, care au inregistrate 227 aerodromuri.
Ungaria la randul sau are 138 aerodromuri, Cehia 314, Grecia 152 de aerodromuri, Serbia doar 64 de aerodromuri, iar Turcia 33 de aerodromuri, desi are o suprafara foarte mare si se intinde pe doua continente.
