According to the Schengen Agreement rules, no immigration procedure is needed for passengers on flights between two countries in the Schengen Area . Airports with no flights outside this area are therefore not an Airport of entry.

Terminology [ edit ]
The word "international" in an airport's name usually means that it is an airport of entry, but many airports of entry do not use it. Airports of entry can range from large urban airports with heavy scheduled passenger service, like John F. Kennedy International Airport , to small rural airports serving general aviation exclusively. Often, smaller airports of entry are located near an existing port of entry such as a bridge or seaport.
On the other hand, however, some "former" airports of entry chose to leave their name with the word "international" in it, even though they no longer serve international flights. One example is Osaka International Airport , or Itami Airport as locals call it. Even when Itami had ended all international services and became a purely domestic airport after the opening of Kansai International Airport in 1994, it kept its original name of "Osaka International Airport". Many airports in the nearby region have the same situation, like Taipei Songshan Airport . Songshan retained its official Chinese name, Taipei International Airport, after Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (now Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport ) opened. Similar cases of transitions of international airports such as Seoul , Tokyo , Nagoya , Shanghai , Hong Kong , Bangkok , Tehran , etc.
For the European Union , flights between countries in the Schengen area are considered domestic regarding passport and immigration check. Several international airports have only intra Schengen-flights. Several of these have occasional charter flights to foreign countries.
Stateless persons [ edit ]
Some cases of statelessness have occurred in airports of entry, forcing people to stay there for an extended period . A famous case was of Mehran Karimi Nasseri , an expelled Iranian who lived in the Charles de Gaulle Airport in France for approximately eighteen years after being denied entry to the country. There are two films about his story, Tombés du ciel and The Terminal .[ 7] Another case is Zahra Kamalfar who lived in the Sheremetyevo International Airport for many months before getting refugee status in Canada.[ 8]
