Which countries DO NOT have airports or airline services
I am curious to know the list of countries in the world which do not have air transport or airlines of their own .
My first assumption would be Vatican City as it is the smallest country of the would and will depend on other neighbouring countries for its air line services .
Would like to know other countries for the same .
EDIT : To be specific commercial airlines which let passengers in and out , it could be helipad also .

Assuming "air services" means scheduled flights and not just chartered helicopters etc, off the top of my head we have:
Andorra. Nearest airport in Spain (Barcelona).
Liechtenstein. Nearest airport in Switzerland.
Monaco. Nearest airport in France.
San Marino. Nearest airport in Italy.
Vatican City. Nearest airport in Italy (Rome).
I believe that may actually be it, since (AFAIK) all Pacific, Caribbean and African microstates do have airports. There are some territories like Pitcairn and St. Helena that don't, but none are independent.
Palestine may also qualify if you consider it a country, since all airports in Gaza and the West Bank have long been non-operational.
Edit: And of course it's already on Wikipedia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_without_an_airport

They are considered sovereign states in international law, issue passports recognized around the globe, conclude treaties and maintain diplomatic relations with other states in their own right, and are members of the UN and many other international organizations.
