Name these US Airports from above

Lets try an hopefully actually easy one: this airport serving this economically struggling city for many years only had air service from Spirit until an additional carrier recently brought additional flights but as yet not new destinations. This airport currently has fewer daily departures than jetbridges.View attachment 70049
one of the airlines that serves this airport notably doesn't fly here.
This airport was supposed to become the 5th PANYNJ commercial airport, but the planned 2013 takeover never occurred.

I almost accidentally booked the "flight" hinted at in your spoiler

This airfield ranks above many other substantially better equipped airfields and terminals previously featured in this thread in FAA counts of passenger enplanments, despite not having any scheduled intercity service.
Edit to replace image with a more inclusive terminal screenshot.
most passengers here are on a flight to nowhere, so you will not find this airport in lists of commercial service airports.
this airport enplaned over 100k passengers in 2024, and all 3 of the US's busiest GA airports by enplanements are in this state, where the top 2 can both be attributed to the same source.

Grand Canyon National Park Airport

Out of curiosity so I can gauge how hard to make these, how many layers of clues did you need?

The part about enplanements told me it was some sort of sightseeing operation instead of scheduled routes, as you offered as a clue. But for a while I was focused on oceans and mountains and not canyons. Then I looked at the spoiler and while it didn't offer geographic clues, for some reason I quickly realized it was probably Grand Canyon, which I have visited decades ago (by car on our way to the canyon - we did not take a sightseeing flight).

This airfield served by a multitude of domestic carriers is a common winter home of birds you're more likely to see closer to home during the summer.
this island airport is one of two undergoing renovations as part of a P3 in this polity which will add jet bridges to complement stair equipped aircraft.
 
One last one before I take a break from airports:
1000043221.jpg

This standalone international arrivals facility is slated for demolition and replacement with a new 2 gate facility at this airport which has seen a significant decline in passenger numbers in the past decades, largely due to changing aviation economics. This airport currently only sees seasonal international traffic.
This airport was planning a significant expansion of its main terminal, which at its core originally dates to the 1950s, to accommodate significant growth prior to the sudden drop in passenger numbers. This has allowed it to proceed with its current vision of siting the replacement international space.
this airport has a modern railway station bearing its name, which is currently undergoing an expansion with a second platform ' however, its distance requires a bus shuttle to the terminal.
This airport is deeply impacted by its relative proximity to an much larger global hub.
bonus point if you can identify this last standalone international arrivals terminal.

This airport is very soon to lose the last flight that requires use of this facility.
You're likely familiar with this airport generally, as its the busiest in this state.
