Despite the super short runways, it's Passengers per year is still over 10 million, incredibly busy.

I agree with @Bill35 's edit.

This might be the smallest airport that handles over 10 million passengers per year.

The airport is open and functional. Yemenia Airways inaugurated the first commercial flight in November 2025, with plans to announce a full flight schedule soon.

The weird thing is, the airport doesn't have a Wikipedia article about it.

The airport currently has no scheduled commercial flights due to the ongoing regional conflict in Yemen. All routes were suspended by Yemenia Airways in 2015.

It was the main airport of Adana until 2024, it was replaced by Γ‡ukurova International Airport.

It is still a huge general aviation airport though.

This airport is rated as the cleanest airport in India in 2025. I checked the images, indeed pretty clean, even better than JFK and LAX.

The airport serves the northernmost city in the world.

Since it is capable of handling wide-body jets, it is a diversion airport on Polar route 1.

The airport was renamed in 2015 after the famous Japanese Anime Detective Conan(my favourite by the way), because the author was born in the region. The airport is full of Detective Conan-related decorations, which is really cool.

Unfortunately, the highway BR-153 east of the runway is limiting the expansion potential.

The airport is currently seeking expansion.

Only 2 runways makes it can only handle 45 operations per hour.

Take YYZ as an example, they have almost the same passenger volume every year(GRU is slightly more than YYZ), but YYZ has 5 runways.

Unfortunately, the airport is now surrounded by the rapidly growing metro area, and it is getting harder to expand.

This is the only international airport in Wallis and Futuna.

In 2015, the airport was blockaded by locals as part of a land dispute.

Although this airport ceased all flights permanently on September 8, 2025, it is still preserved for military and private jet use for its historical significance. Hence, we are still keeping it "large_airport" and not closed.

This airport is divided into two sections: one international only, and one domestic only.

This airport has an insanely long runway for large military aircraft.

Maybe it should be called an airstrip instead of an airport.

This airport has seasonal commercial flights to Copenhagen, and its 3047 m long runway makes it international.

To ensure the image quality, I had to zoom out slightly so that it wouldn't be too blurry.

Technically, this airport is not only a US space base, but it also has commercial flights.

Fun fact: This airport has the longest runway in all of Greenland.

I wonder this airport is whose homebase in our members.
