        Toronto’s main international airport is in Mississauga, about 17 miles (28km) from downtown Toronto.

        It’s pretty normal for metropolitan areas to span more than one state, and many municipalities, served by a single international airport that is in the suburbs of that major city.

        The point is that if you’re flying international in or out of DC, IAD is literally your closest option. And if you’re flying there, it’s probably because you’re visiting DC and not some Civil War battlefield in rural Virginia. Functionally speaking, it’s DC’s airport.
