A water airport is a facility designed for the takeoff and landing of aircraft on water, typically using seaplanes or amphibious planes. These airports often feature docks or floating platforms where planes can be moored, and they may include services like fueling and maintenance. Water airports are commonly found in areas with large bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, or coastal regions. They provide essential transportation links for remote communities and are popular in tourism, allowing easy access to scenic locations. Examples of water airports include those in regions like the Bahamas and Alaska.
