Khalid is the wrong answer.
When it opened in 1999 King Fahd International Airport became the world's largest in terms of area. Previously, that title belonged to King Khalid International.
It has two runways.

Taken literally as the airport which takes up the most land mass, this is the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It takes up some 81 square miles - an area larger than many cities.
Trivia: This airport has four terminals, yet only three have ever been used.
The second biggest airport in the world is Denver International, which takes up 53 square miles.
By comparison, London Heathrow takes up around 3,000 acres, or just 4.7 square miles.

Depends on your definition. Largest by land area, largest by number of passengers, largest by number of flights, largest number of runways?
