About This Dataset
Countries with the Most Air Passengers 2022
Countries ranked by air passengers carried in 2022, using World Bank figures for the 151 countries that reported that year. United States leads on 852,828,000, ahead of China (250,754,113) and Ireland (169,377,735). Passengers carried on flights by carriers registered in the country, counting domestic and international journeys. Large domestic markets therefore rank far above their share of world travel.
Analysis
United States (852,828,000), China (250,754,113) and Ireland (169,377,735) take the top three. Across the twenty shown, values run from 852,828,000 down to 41,287,305, a spread of 811,540,695. Most of that spread sits between first and second alone (602,073,887 of 811,540,695), so United States stands apart from the rest of the table. No other country in the table reaches half the leading figure of 852,828,000. United States stood at 666,153,000 in 2021, so its figure rose by 186,675,000 over the year.
