World’s Busiest Airports

Over the past 10 years our website’s database has grown from around 10,000 airports around the world to now featuring over 40,000 airports, strips, fields or heliports.

This is partly because of the popularity of air travel and the lower budget flights availability which has caused an expansion in the number of airports.
