Regardless of pedantic definitions, and speaking morally, did you use their services? Would you have been there if there wasn't an airport?

It costs them money to provide that airport, if you approach it and subsequently go around, you have still "used" it, no? It's not like a "landing fee" is used only to cover wear and tear on the runway.
