What is the best airport name you have come across

Of course naming your airport just after the city has some problems - just ask SFO who has threatened to sue OAK if they go ahead renaming their airport “San Francisco Bay Oakland International“

Name has changed:

Batman Airport in Batman, Turkey (no joke)
Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport in Rome, Italy
Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona (epic and fitting name for an airport)

Mystery Island Airport in Mystery Island, Vanuatu. A runway for a tiny but exquisite island.

Nancy-Bird as a first name is quite cute.

Her name was Nancy (first name) Bird (maiden surname), she added the Walton after marrying.

Nancy-Bird was a nick name (personal term of endearment) from her hubby, the hyphen was never part of her official name and its stupid that WSI have incorrectly placed the hyphen, hopefully this will be amended out of respect.

I remember she came to my school to give talk about being a pilot and aviation pioneer.

Only older people tend to call SYD Kingsford Smith, its Sydney to most and doubt that will change when WSI opens.

The airport with the least known alternate name that I have used is the Howard’s Plains airport. Not that far from the OP. But I am with @TheRealTMA that the best arrival experience is stepping out of Finnair into HEL.

FKQ

rumour has it that the airport was names because thats what the pilots say when they have to go around.

There us USL (Useless loop airport)

My favourite is ABQ - Albuquerque International Sunport. And it's well named. It apparently gets about 3,420 hours of sun per year, which is not exactly Yuma or Phoenix. But it's a lot of sun.
