Why dosen't Arkansas have an international aiport. I know they have the Little Rock Nat'l Airport, Northwest Arkansas Regional airport, Texarkana regional airport, and Fort Smith regional airport I think.

To Memphis? No, more often to Chicago, or DFW, or New York. Or LAX, or DTW. Rarely to Memphis. Even from many "international airports" one often has to take a domestic hop before continuing to one's foreign destination. There are many international airports in the United States where "international" just means there are flights to Canada, or to Mexico, or to a few countries in the Americas. In some cases all "international" means is that the airport is certified to handle international flights - even though there currently aren't any. So why does't Arkansas have internaional airports? No (sufficient) demand, pure and simple.

Because there isn't much demand out of Arkansas
