Serious question -- I can see how you blockade a port but blockading an airport without troops nearby seems impossible -- unless you start shooting down planes.

If you tell the airport that it's closed and that you'll be shooting down planes that attempt to take or or land, that does the trick. Because commercial pilots are not usually interested in testing those assertions.
Or if you were trying to close the airport, you could crater the runway. Destroying the fuel storage facilities -- which is what made the really black smoke in the pictures of Beirut that are all over the place -- seems calculated to different ends.
