Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 59.6°S, 162.1°W. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Dunedin (DUD) in New Zealand, still 2,379 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.

The closest other airport on this site is Stockholm Skavsta (NYO), 112 km away in a straight line. Nothing else on this site is within 100 km.
Distances from ARN
Great circle distance and an estimated time in the air. The longest is London, at 1,463 km.
Where these facts come from
The profile is looked up, not written from memory: type, runways, elevation and the official website from OurAirports (public domain); opening year, namesake, operator and passenger count from Wikidata (CC0); the city centre from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Where a source has nothing, the line is left out. Distances, neighbours and the antipode are computed from the coordinates.
What you won’t find: terminal maps, airline lists, shops or live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that guessed at those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
