World's Busiest Airports by International Passenger Traffic (2024)
Key Findings
About This Dataset
World's Busiest Airports by International Passenger Traffic (2024)Dubai is the clear global leader for international travel, handling 92.33 million international passengers, over 13 million more than London Heathrow (79.19M). Because almost all of Dubai's traffic is international, it tops this ranking despite trailing Atlanta in total passengers. European hubs are strongly represented, with Heathrow, Amsterdam Schiphol (66.82M), Paris-Charles de Gaulle (64.47M) and Frankfurt (56.19M) all in the top eight. Asian gateways Incheon (70.67M), Singapore Changi (67.06M) and Hong Kong (52.95M) reflect the region's recovery, while Doha (52.71M) rounds out the list. The complete absence of any US airport underlines how American aviation is driven mainly by domestic rather than international flying.
