Having lived in Germany, air travel In most of Europe was not a huge thing. The countries are often almost postage stamp-sized. On three day weekends it wasn’t uncommon for MWR to offer bus tours, leaving Friday night and getting back Sunday evening. Seven countries in three days. I’ve been in Lichtenstein when there wasn’t a parking place in the entire country, the whole 62 square miles of it. Don’t know where they would put an airport if they wanted one. I think they do have one helipad though...

In fairness, France does have more cowards. So there is that

"Letting airports go bankrupt" in Europe just means letting the private companies that manage the airports put themselves through the financial reorganization process rather than bail a private company out with public funds.
Here is an article advocating for the same thing here (in a liberal publication no less!)

No, the airports are privatized in Europe (they might have a 50 year lease or something). We run them publicly here. Considering the respective politics you'd think that situation would be reversed.

I’m no expert in airports, but it’s not like they will let their airports shut down and no one can land there. They’ll figure out a way to reorganize or even nationalize some airports.
