Well it does come as number three on the list. However, Panama leads because of its strategic location right in the middle of the Americas, and with its Canal it is an important financial and commercial hub.

[Tooting Carmen]

Of note: Venezuela, Paraguay and French Guiana are the only ones not to have direct flights to the US (Trump banned flights to/from the former and the other two just aren't commercially viable), while Belize and Nicaragua are the only ones with no direct flights to Europe. Also of note is the lack of direct flights to South Asia from anywhere in the list, while only Mexico has some direct flights to East Asia (Japan).

Also, French Guiana (like Suriname) does have direct flights to Belem, Northern Brazil.
