It is the longest runway in North America at 16000ft long and 300 ft wide.


The main runway at Groom Lake (Area 51) is 25,300 feet long and 100 feet wide.

...to "lurve" a runway is when there is the definite possibility of landing on it safely, taxying off, parking the aircraft and visiting the bar for refreshments, no matter how bad, or dangerous the approach was... ;).... ;D....!

Biggest airport in terms of coverage is in Saudi:

King Khalid International Airport

The King Khalid International Airport was opened in 1983 (1403/04 AH). Located 35 kilometers north of Riyadh, with a land area of 225 square kilometers, the King Khalid International Airport is a masterpiece of modern architecture, blending traditional Arab design with the requirements of efficiency, and incorporating into the whole the essential Islamic character of the Kingdom. It is decorated with the works of many Saudi artists. It has four terminals and among the world's largest, it is designed to cater for 15 million passengers, and its air cargo facilities are the most modern in the Middle East, able to handle 140,000 tons of cargo per year.
