#2This is gorgeous. For me it recalls Fuller's Dymaxion map.
He would be cheering if he had this in his web browser.

#3This gives a lot of importance to small airports in small islands. Big international airports are surrounded by other smaller airports. They are associated with a tiny surface. I can not see how this representation may be of any use for airports.

#4What would happen if distance over sea is penalized by a certain factor? Is there an extension of Voronoi diagrams that addresses this issue?

It doesn't seem to me that it's designed to be "useful" as much as just interesting.

I guess that would be useful in a case where you'd want a representation with an importance that is reversely proportional to the airport importance.

#7I wonder what happens if you "give weight" to each point relative to size of the airport (measured e.g. by number of take-offs/landings per year)?

#8There must be a correlation with population density

It doesn't look like it. You can have different size airports serving vastly different volumes. It looks like the spacial distance is first factor, and then municipal boundaries. The boundaries are historical and can be based on population.

Ability to divert in an emergency?
