May be I'm wrong, but I think you mean something like this one

select dest_name     , air1.name as airport1     , air2.name as airport2  from destination  join airport as air1    on
air1.airport_id= destination.airport_dep_id  join airport as air2    on air2.airport_id = destination.airport_arr_id
