• The past few weeks have seen airports around the world being repurposed as their primary uses have been interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• While they can't service the same number of their normal airborne clientele, airports can use their massive empty terminals and adjacent spaces for other means such as drive-in movies and COVID-19 testing.
• Travel numbers are the lowest they have been in decades with airports across the US seeing less than 200,000 passengers combined since late-March.

Airports are finding themselves with more space than they know what to do with as fewer and fewer passengers have been coming through their doors since the beginning of the pandemic. No airport has been immune to the pandemic that's affected airlines in nearly every country, especially as travel restrictions cripple even the possibility of most travel.

In the US, the country's more than 5,000 commercial airports across the country haven't seen more than 200,000 combined passengers since March 26, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

While their primary mission continues to be the facilitation of air travel, that mandate has become increasingly hard to achieve so some airports have begun to offer alternate services ranging from drive-in movies to COVID-19 testing. Airport administrators, governments, and businesses have all been finding ways to make the best of the unused space.

In some cities, heading to the airport now has a completely different meaning.

Take a look at the various ways airports have been repurposed as they muddle through the pandemic, just like the flyers they're meant to be serving.
