We flew through Virgin Gorda on our way from Beef Island to San Juan a couple of months ago and were delayed because the VG airport was closed. Apparently, one of the planes from Cape Air had a flat tire and was stalled in the middle of the runway. Fortunately, there were several motivated passengers who would have been impacted on the next few flights. They got together and pushed the plane out of the way so other flights could land!

But this probably isn't what you meant by "airport closing..."
