Why Are There So Few Flights At The World’s Largest Airport?

The world’s largest airport—King Fahd International Airport (DMM) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia—is more than double the area size of the world’s next biggest airport, King Khalid International Airport, also located in Saudi Arabia. At an estimated 300 sq miles, King Fahd International is the same size as the entirety of New York City and almost six times larger than the biggest airport in the United States, Denver International Airport.
