Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Cocos (Keeling) Islands Airport (YPCC/CCK)

🇨🇨

---

You would be forgiven for thinking that this small island between Sumatra and Australia is seen as insignificant. Though in this day and age it serves less function than before, this airport was an airport that planes stopped at when flying between Australia and South Africa. In addition to this, during the second World War, this airport served as a key base from which the Dutch and British Air Force engaged in the re-invasion of Malaya and Singapore…

Pitcairn Island

Totegegie Airport (NTGJ/GMR)

🇵🇳

---

Infamous for being so remote, Pitcairn Island has no airport, no regular flight service, and irregular ship service, taking many days to reach this island. Located between French Polynesia and Chile, Pitcairn Island stands with a population under 50, and with the population emigrating from the island, it may soon be possible to see the end of this unique piece of British territorial history.

Italy

Linate Airport (LIML/LIN)

You could say that this country is one of the most famous around the world. Known for its pasta, pizza, wine, cars and rich and well-displayed history, Italy stands proud with iconic brands selling its Italian culture around the world with brands such as Ferrari, Versace, Prada, Armani and many others. Not to mention as a motorsports fan like myself, classic tracks such as Mugello, Monza, Imola and Misano are the staple of Italian motorsports heritage.

Ireland

Dublin Airport (EIDW/DUB)

🇮🇪

---

The Emerald Isle, Ireland is well known for being the country that oversees all traffic in the air in the European half of the transatlantic corridor. Also known for beautiful shores and cliffs despite somewhat miserable weather, Ireland does seem to make up for the horrid weather. And just for good measure, their stout is the best that anyone could find, and I would willingly go to Ireland, just for the stout again.

Isle of Man

Isle of Man Airport (EGNS/IOM)

🇮🇲

First, to correct most people, the Isle of Man is not technically a part of the United Kingdom other territories would usually be considered to be. Although it is a possession of the Crown, which means that it would be possession of the Queen, it is not directly a part of the United Kingdom. Not to mention, this small island is also the host to one of my favourite motorsport event, that being the Isle of Man. Considered to be one of the most dangerous motorsport event in the world, with 260 fatalities in just over a hundred years of its history, and even though it’s notorious for the amount of risk each participant takes, it is only really a dream of mine to watch this event live, in person.

Not to mention, Netherlands could easily put itself on the international stage again this year with Max Verstappen currently leading the F1 championship in the 2021 season, and is the favourite to take the title at this point in time.
