An airport is an air-port. A port via the air.

And why isn't a train station called a rail port?
Missed opportunity to keep it all tidily labeled similarly, if you ask me.
Train station and bus station. Why isn't it called boat station and plane station?
Because a station is a place you pull up to an leave going the same direction, and a port is a place you enter and then go back out the same way.
Airplanes come down to a port, then go back up.
Boats come into a port, then back out to sea.
Buses come into a station, then go along their way. Same as trains.
Don't come here with logical arguments! :(
