Hey guys, i was just wandering on what you think the worlds most bust intl airport is. I'm sure that it is Heathrow in London and not Frankfurt Main or Kennedy intl. :D B)

I think that it's KATL in traffic of passengers and KORD in operations are the busiest. Am I right??

I'm sure it's Heathrow because it's always says that on T.V. but i'm not 100% sure.
Thanks for your opinion. icon_smile.gif

What about Chicago O'Hare International?

<_<
First is LHR. (Heathrow)
Second is NRT. (Narita, Japan)
Third is ATL. (Hotlanta, Georgia)

In the U.S. Atlanta pushes more tin than any other. I used to work there and it is something to see an aircraft taking off ever 30 seconds on a clear blue 22 day..

This will sound sick. I would turn in my wings and quit flying helicopters to be a baggage agent again <_<

Like his numbers say... KATL is #1 with passengers through... and on the crappiest International Airports id put KATL at #2 right behind Dulles, both are in my opinion, horrible airports.
Emirates Rules
i know that Dubai international is not the busiest airport but it is very busy for a small city like dubai.

what i mean is that the airport is huge and full of people where ever you look.

And also when i was waiting to board a flight an airplane landed on the runway i think it was Runway 12R about every 60 seconds. they were mostly 777's and A330's

With Dubai developing at the rate it is at the moment, I'm sure that Dubai International will become a very important airport, especially as far as transit passengers are concered. Emirates obviously thinks so having ordered 40+ A380's

Chicago was overtaken by Atlanta last year according to the report that I got the figures from.
