Is this an Australian airport perchance ?

[LX-A343]

Nope, not Australian ... far of it!

[LX-A343]

Next hint: the larger airport mentioned above is JFK

[wrxflyer]

Ah now we're talking.
It was very difficult, but JFK was the final hint.

Francis S.Gabreski Airport/Suffolk County Airport

[LX-A343]

Correctomundo! Your turn.

[wrxflyer]

This major international airport was originally build for the Olympic Summergames.

[LX-A343]

Just a wild guess: Montréal Mirabel?

[wrxflyer]

Nope, not Montreal. Other continent as well.

[brianw999]

Shanghai Pudong ?

[wrxflyer]

Nope. not Shanghai.

2 Terminals. three runways.

[DAL767-400ER]

I was gonna say ATH initially, but that one only has 2 runways, so it's not an option.

Close-in neighbor of ATH, Rome-Fiumicino? It has 3 runways, though I'm not sure whether it is actually 2 terminals with additional concourses or 3 seperate terminals.

[wrxflyer]

Nope, not in Italy or Greece but we're coming closer now
