#01 King Fahd International Airport (DMM) -776 km2




King Fahd International Airport is the granddaddy of all airports in the world. Located in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, the total area covered by the property stands at an unreal 77,600 hectares, making all the other airports on this list look as if a Lego set in comparison. The airport is larger than the entire country of Bahrain, which is insane. In fact, only 37 square kilometres are dedicated for airport usage. That is only about 5%! The elevation of the airport is 22m. If we went with the actual size of the airport, it would have ranked lower on this list. In terms of passenger traffic, it is also the least busy, barely reaching past 10 million travellers served annually. Therefore, we might say that the world’s largest airport is the most inefficient as well.
