which one is the biggest airport in the world 2.what is the difference between airport & aerodrome?
There are three ways to measure “biggest airport.” What is the largest airport by land area: King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 17 times larger in area than London’s Heathrow, though much, much less busy. What is the largest airport terminal building in the world: That would be Hong Kong’s airport international terminal. Curiously, it appears that the new terminal opened in Beijing in March 2008 is much larger. It’s not officially on the charts yet. What is the busiest airport in the world: Atlanta’s airport handles 75 million passengers yearly. There’s no real difference in meaning between the words “airport” and “aerodrome.” “Aerodrome” is a French word that means essentially the same thing as “airport.” It was adopted by the British and Americans during the First World War, because their aircraft were using French aerodromes. But in both the UK and the US, “airport” is now in more common usage.
