    Why can't I use små here?

      Lufthavn is singular here, and "små" can only be used to describe plural objects, for example:
      Jeg har en lille kat => Jeg har små katte
      Det lille hus ved kysten => De små huse ved kysten

            So why is it "det" and not "der" ?

              You mean why is it "det" and not "den". That's what I want to know

                  Because "det" is neutral, I guess
