The word is formed from 'Inland' (domestic territory / within the country) and the ending '-isch' (-ic/-ish). 'Inland' itself means 'im Land' (within the country). So 'inländisch' (domestic) describes everything that belongs to one's own country or takes place within it.

Common combinations are 'der inländische Markt' (the domestic market), 'inländische Produkte' (domestic products), or 'inländische Flüge' (domestic flights). The latter is also often referred to as 'Inlandsflüge' (domestic flights).

international
'international' and 'inländisch' are clearly different. 'international' concerns multiple countries or the relationship between countries. 'inländisch' means that something comes from one's own country or is located within one's own country. The words can be confused because both often appear in contexts like trade, travel, companies, or products. The simple guide is: 'international' goes beyond one country, while 'inländisch' stays within one's own country.
