https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Wharf#Tallest_buildings Tall buildings are no problem there, despite the airport being relatively close to them. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle-Tacoma_International_Airport The FAA prevented Seattle from having a 1000 foot tall office tower in the 1980s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_International_Airport Runways don't conflict with the tallest buildings in Boston, but some still could be taller.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonton_City_Centre_Airport#Closure Once closed, Edmonton could finally plan and allow for the tallest building in Alberta. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_International_Airport Unless its ever closed and replaced, SD buildings are kept short, because of its location. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Reid_International_Airport Tall buildings are relatively close to a runway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_International_Airport Unlike, London and LV, Richmond, BC is forced to have very short buildings, because of YVR. Its used as an excuse to have buildings much shorter than flat-land New_Orleans and mostly flat Singapore.

Airport+Square in SW Vancouver has 15 floors, but could have easily been 30 stories. Its safely just out of the alignment of the north runway at YVR.
