You have airports that are pretty convenient to the city (assuming that's where you're going). Boston. SFO is at least on BART. The old Hong Kong airport. But newer airports tend to be pretty far out because they presumably need more land and that land isn't available near the city.

It's also because city residents will not, under any circumstances, allow a new airport to be built anywhere near them.
