Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Aéroport is masculine. While the word is indeed a compound of "aéro-" (from Greek "aer," meaning air) and "-port" (from Latin "portus," meaning harbor/port), the rule about taking the gender of the final element is not a reliable general principle in French. "Aéroport" is masculine primarily because "port" (harbor/port) is masculine in French, but this is better explained as the word being understood as a type of port (port for aircraft) rather than as a strict rule about compound word gender. French compound words do not consistently follow a gender rule based on their final element.
