Hello,
No, the sentence is not grammatically correct. You must put an article in front of 'airport'. Most cities only have one airport so the article 'the' is used. The rule is that we use the definite article 'the' with singular and plural nouns when referring to a particular person, animal or thing.
The indefinite article 'a/an' is used when referring about things that are more general and not about a specific thing.
I hope this helps.
Linda
