I have an airport in 1:500 scale which is the same size as my main layout in N which is around 4X3.  My advice is DON"T do it unless you got tons of space.  In real life, trains and planes are in direct competition so I don't think you will find them in close vasinity to each other anyway except those ICE (Inter City Express Trains)and unless that's what you had in mind or some rural or regional airports.  They simply take up too much space.  I did model an aeronautical museum on my very first layout though where I had a outdoor museum housing a DC-3 and C-47 transport plane near a small town with trains passing through nearby.  I know it's cool but not easy.  If you really want it, Herpa has airport lighting kits where you get all he lights you need for an airport including the animated runway approach lights.
