I'm sure Brasilia has at least a couple of regional int'l flights, ie Argentina, Venezuala etc. The obvious one is Canberra, Australia. What about Holland's capital, The Hague. Does it even have a heliport?
Anyway, I have the winning answer. The biggest capital city in the world without any int'l services at all is, of course, Baghdad.

Correct me if im wrong, but The Hague is not the capital of holland, it is an independent country? It would have to therefore qualify, asit has no airports at all!

The population of Baghdad is definitely over 1.5m (Brasilia). For bonus credit, I can name another capital with a population higher than Brasilia (or comparable) with no int'l air service: Gaza City (or East Jerusalem, which doesn't have an airport - even though the aspirational capital of Palestine is of course E Jersalem, Gaza is the actual administrative capital and has, or more accurately, had, an international airport). So my answer is Canberra, The Hague, Baghdad and Gaza. Add to that list a number of African countries, whose int'l services can come and go, ie N'djamena (Chad), Kigalia (Rwanda), Mogadishu (Somalia) and a few others.

STT757: True they are in Virginia, but it serves DC. MSP is really in Bloomington and Richfield, MN.

Okay, getting more technical...
How about San Marino and Vatican City and Monaco (although Monaco does have a heliport)

TAM had daily A320 service between Miami and Brasillia. It was launched in June 2001, but sadly was canned after September. It made a stop in Manaus. I would not be surprised to see the flight return within a year or so.
