Andorra has an airport although it’s located in Spain, 5 miles from the border and owned by Catalonia government. It pays for its use and has the name of it: Andorra-la Seu d’Urgell airport.

After learning this, I would have kept the ban in place. Maybe reach out to a few of my fellow EU countries, see if they also want to ban flights from Andorra.

You could argue the fact that they don't have an airport means banning aircraft originating from there would be a good thing.

Andorra is right in the middle of the Pyrenees mountain range tucked between Spain and France. Good luck building an airport here.

Lots of helipads though.

The United States government would have spent tax payer dollars to have one of their friends build an airport there so they wouldn’t have to admit being wrong
