2The Mirabel International Airport, Canada
This airport opened for business in 1975 was meant to serve as a replacement for Dorval Airport. It cost 500 million Canadian dollars ($1.7 billion US today). Although it was the largest airport in the world, it had issues.
It was 26 miles outside of Montreal which impacted the number of passengers. Thus, the airlines all too quickly dropped this airport for Toronto. Additionally, by the early 2000s, Dorval (now named Trudeau) Airport had expanded and all passenger flights in and out of Mirabel had stopped. The terminal was demolished. Occasional cargo flights still fly in and out but the otherwise vacant place is now only famous for being used in the 2013 zombie rom-com movie Warm Bodies.
