Although it sounded off in my head, I went by this logic :
"number.." is singular right?
we would say "The number of men required to do the job IS ten" rather than say "The number of men required to do the job ARE ten".
If the above usage is correct, wouldn't the right way be " IS a number of airports " rather than "ARE a number of airports"?
