Not actually a shower thought, saw an old document that labeled it air-port. I don’t think I would have ever made the connection.
(I’ve found people can be rude about word breakdowns, but I’m posting it anyway. Be better.)

And why isn’t a train station called a rail port?
Missed opportunity to keep it all tidily labeled similarly, if you ask me.
Hmm there is rail yard just like ship yard, though I think they’re used a little differently.
Train station and bus station. Why isn’t it called boat station and plane station?
Funnily enough in Russian the word for train station is Vauxhall… spelt Russian. People say that Russian engineers studying in London mistook the name of a specific underground station - Vauxhall - as the generic word for station and imported it into their language before anyone realised the mistake.
