Where it sits

Straight through the middle
Straight down through the centre of the Earth comes out at 40.1°S, 63.4°W. The nearest airport on this site to that point is Presidente Perón (NQN) in Argentina, still 426 km away — most of the planet's antipodes are ocean.

The closest other airport on this site is Beijing Daxing (PKX), 66 km away in a straight line. It is the only one within 100 km.

What’s on this page, and what isn’t
Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.
Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
