For those who can't access Forbes, it's a really interesting article about Sri Lanka's Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI). It is an enormous airport that almost nobody goes to has one daily flight and

"a 12,000 square meter terminal building, 12 check-in counters, two gates, a runway long enough to handle the largest commercial jets, and capacity for one million passengers per year"

It was funded by Chinese companies trying to invest in large infrastructure projects, and partly the fault of the dictator of Sri Lanka, who was recently displaced.
