This is a picure of Will Rogers World Airport, the main airport in Oklahoma City. Its strapline is 'the gateway to your community'. I'm pleased to say that it also serves as the gateway out of my community.
I like the designation 'world airport'. Presumably it's called this because from here you can catch a flight to any one of, oh, a dozen US destinations, and from some of these you can catch a further flight to somewhere else in the world. More likely, you will have a further change of plane before you can do this. On the same principle, you could call the railway station from which I used to commute every morning 'Goring and Streatley World Railway Station'. You can get to most places in the world from there, but it might not be that straightforward.
