I disagree a bit here. You can choose to compare airports on a world wide basis (may be useful for an aviation specific map), or you can choose to compare them based on relative, regional importance (more useful for a general purpose map). If a country only has one small airport it's not going to have the worldwide importance of LAX, but that small airport is certainly just as important to the residents of that small country as LAX is to a resident of Los Angeles. Relative importance makes sense, because feature density varies from place to place. Zeke
