Typically, large commercial airports have fuel delivered by pipeline. Many also have fueling points on the ramp at the gate to reduce the ground vehicle traffic in the terminal area (no fuel trucks driving around). As airliners use a LOT of fuel (up to 31,000 gallons on a 777, for example), it would take far too many fuel tanker trucks (at around 8,000 gallons each) to keep a major airport in operation. Smaller general aviation airports typically either have above-ground 'tank farms' or below-ground tanks similar to automotive gas stations.
