I don't that I've ever heard Day of the Jackal called an airport novel. There are a number of authors who write spy/assassin thrillers these days. Vince Flynn comes to mind, but Barry Eisler is another. Of course, Day of the Jackal was a classic of the genre, so it's kind of hard to come up with one that meets that standard, especially within the last 10 years. Forsyth wrote several others including Dogs of War and The Oddessa File. Tom Clancey was pretty close to Forsyth, but those were well over 10 years old.
