For 2019, I am sure quite a few people can claim Paine Field (PAE), Everett, Washington. The terminal is new though in the distant past, it did have air service.
I keep going to the same airports. For 2019, PAE is a new one for me. I someday hope to add Rome FCO, which is a major airport. Also would like to add London City (LCY) and Billy Bishop/Toronto Island

I don't mind it when fun, old threads are brought up again, so thanks for doing that!
I had a good year for new airports in 2019 with 24. The most unique were certainly IOR and NNR in Ireland. LCY was probably the neatest from an airport standpoint, while DBV was the gateway for the best trip.

as far as other first-time airports in 2019, I arrived at Kenmore Air Harbor (KEH) on a Turbo Otter floatplane belonging to the namesake airline, and flew to/from Bozeman (BZN) on Alaska (Horizon) (E175 in, Q400 out)

I'm boring: just T2 (as opposed to T1) at ICN, if that counts. Only FAI the previous year.

I used Ushuaia for an Antarctic expedition in January, and Longyearben for an Arctic expedition in June. I wanted to be bipolar.
