Which airports around the world have abandoned or underused terminals? And what's the story behind it being abandoned?
I can think of one, the old TWA terminal at JFK. AA bought out TWA and they already had their own terminal at JFK so they just packed up and left. However, it's being redeveloped into the new JetBlue terminal.

With the opening of the new Terminal 2 (now 1) at HAM, the old Terminals 1 and 3 were left abandoned. T3 in the mean time has been torn down to make way for a new shopping plaza (finished next year), and the old terminal 1 is now available for parties, exhibits, and other similar stuff.

Well, LHR's Terminal Two will be abandoned in a few years (although to be demolished), following the opening of Heathrow's Terminal Five. So Heathrow will still have four terminals, 1, 3, 4 and 5... That's until Heathrow East happens!

T3 at MNL - built but not yet in use due to political wranglings.

The terminal E satellite at DFW. Abandoned and forlorn since Delta jumped ship.
BUT- there's a rumor that US/HP will move into it. That would be nice. I hate to see things wasted like that.

Terminal B in Zurich I have the impression is no longer in use! The managers saw too big for ZRH who is in over capacity and will turn the terminal into an exposition hall

Quoting AlexPorter (Reply 12): I though NW and FL and some other airlines operated out of it now, although it is operating far under capacity.
Those carriers operate from the main E-terminal. What AA737-823 was referring to is the small 9(?)-gate satellite that DL in the last years used solely for ASA flights.

E Satellite in DFW is currently unoccupied, but US/HP are rumored to be moving there shortly once jetways are reinstalled. Jetways were originally installed on the Satellite gates, but then removed entirely to allow space for ASAs operations. Once the terminal reassignments are complete, all-non AA domestic flights except UA will be in E. From what I have read UA refused to move to E because they just recently renovated the Red Carpet Club in B.
Continuing with the topic, RDU (AA side) and PIT Concourses C/D/E come to mind.

Correct, Terminal B is now known as the "Event Dock". Terminal B was phased out (temporarily?) when Terminal E was put into operation.

STL Concourse D would fit the description as well.
