— @I_Am_So_Handsome at Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, Sri Lanka
This is the emptiest international airport in the world, with only 25767 passengers in 2021. The former president Mahinda Rajapaksa's hometown is located here, and this is considered the main reason why there will be such a large airport with a runway of 3500 metres.
Nevertheless, it still has a lot of international destinations, including cities in Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, and Kazakhstan.
