Providencia Island Airport, Caribbean. Tiny open airport with dirt runway and flights only to neighbouring island of San Andres.

Ronneby, Sweden. The passenger terminal is just two little rooms (one for arrivals, one for departures).
Bukoba, Tanzania. Even smaller than than, and when I was there 15 years ago, the airstrip wasn't paved yet, just a dirt landing strip!

A new one for me: Pierre, SD (PIR). Currently just two UA CRJ-200s from DEN. I'm particularly amused by the baggage "claim" which is just a hole in the wall someone shoves the bags through:

~2008 I flew into PIR on a Northwest Saab SF-340 (37 seats) and out on a Great Lakes Beech 1900 (19 seats)

But it still operates the scheduled service between Bodo, Norway (BOO) and Vaeroy, Norway (VRY) twice a day (mo-fr) and once a day on sat/sun resp. as the PSO-contract was renewed already once.
This route is not even the only scheduled helicopter service in Europe.
There are a few more and at least one of them is operated by AW-139 as well. You may PM me if you´re interested in these helicopter routes.
