Airports are integral to the travel experience, yet some are notorious for overcrowding. OAG’s annual data reveals the busiest airports globally, led by Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, renowned for over 2,000 daily operations. Dubai International follows, reflecting substantial growth since 2019. Despite its challenges, the airport experience is influenced by factors beyond flight availability, such as food options and Duty Free offerings. This year's rankings featured Heathrow as the only UK airport to make the top list, emphasizing its importance in global air travel.
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport has maintained its status as the world's busiest for 23 of the 24 years the report has been published, serving over 2,000 flights daily.
Dubai International Airport saw a 12% increase in airline capacity from 2019 to 2024, highlighting its growth as the premier airport in the Middle East.
The data from OAG suggests that travelers often prioritize flight costs and timings but also benefit from airports with good food and shopping options.
London Heathrow remains a significant entry in the global airport ranking, with a 4% increase in seating capacity compared to 2023.
