The world's busiest airport isn't JFK in New York, London's Heathrow, or Dubai International.
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (above) in the US has retained its spot as the world’s busiest airport in 2025 with 63.1 million passengers last year.
Dubai International stayed second globally and continued rapid long-term growth, figures release this week by OAG, the leading data platform for the global travel industry.
Dubai International has 62.4 million flyers while Tokyo's Haneda Airport remained third. Heathrow was fourth and Istanbul Airport fifth.
Chicago O’Hare and Istanbul Airport recorded the strongest year-on-year growth among the global top 10, increasing capacity by 8% and 6% respectively.
Istanbul stands out as one of the fastest-growing major hubs globally, with capacity now 22% higher than in 2019.
“The 2025 rankings show that global aviation has moved into a new phase of growth," said OAG chief analyst John Grant.
"Dubai’s continued expansion and Istanbul’s rise as a global hub demonstrate how airline networks are evolving, while the resilience of large domestic markets continues to underpin global capacity.”
The busiest airports are concentrated largely in North America and Asia due to the very large domestic markets with four airports in North America and three in Asia alongside two in Europe and one in the middle east.
