Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has officially been named the busiest airport in the world for the second year in a row.
OAG's annual ranking of major airports again has ATL in the top spot after it handled 62.7 million seats in 2024. The aviation analytics firm specifies that it bases its rankings on capacity airlines scheduled through the airports on the list, not the exact number of passengers who flew.
Four of the top ten busiest global airports were in the U.S. last year, with Dallas/Fort Worth at number five, Denver at number six, and Chicago-O'Hare at number 10.
