There is an ongoing debate over the definition of a 'regional airport'. Some attempts to define a regional airport link the notion of 'regional' to the fact that the catchment area of an airport is located outside a capital city. There is no definition of a regional airport at EU level to date.
An airport should be considered regional if it
1. Primarily serves short and medium range routes and
2. Primarily serves point-to-point destinations
