The following list identifies the commercial passenger airports in the United States that are 2,500 acres or larger in land area. The data is directly from the Federal Aviation Administration and is current as of January 10, 2013.

For those who may not be as familiar with airport design and planning, almost as interesting as the airports on the list are the major ones that are missing from it. These include Boston (Logan), New York (La Guardia), Philadelphia, Newark (Liberty), Washington (Reagan), Fort Lauderdale, Cleveland (Hopkins), Louisville, Chicago (Midway), Orange County (John Wayne), San Diego (Lindbergh), Dallas (Love), Buffalo, Columbus, Palm Beach, and Los Angeles (Ontario).
