Another accomplishment was the designation of Dubai International Airport (DXB) as the busiest airport through January 2024.
The airport recorded 5 million seats in the current month, overtaking Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL), which dropped to second place with 4.7 million seats, according to data supplied by aviation consultant OAG.
For a considerable amount of time, the busiest airport has been the subject of news reports. For example, DXB was the second busiest airport in the world in January 2023 and ranked third in 2019.
Furthermore, with 56.5 million tickets, OAG’s statistics suggest that DXB was the busiest international airport in 2023.
In terms of standards, OAG compares the scheduled capacity for the present month to the same month in 2023 in order to arrive at its rankings. While the top 10 busiest international airports only concentrate on international seats, the top 10 busiest global airports take into account overall capacity (both domestic and international).
Shanghai Pudong, Denver International, Dallas/Fort Worth, Hong Kong, Beijing Capital International, London Heathrow, Tokyo International (Haneda), and Guangzhou are among the other airports on the list of the top 10 domestic and international airports in the world for January.
When it comes to the list of the busiest international airports, Dubai remained at the top, followed by Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International, London Heathrow, Seoul Incheon, Singapore Changi, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Hong Kong International, Doha, and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
The United Arab Emirates’ officials have been working harder to make the emirate’s passenger arrival process easier. Additionally, in an effort to diversify its sources of income, the government is opening up new investment opportunities.
