Shanghai Pudong jumped from 10th to 5th, overtaking its 2019 position of 8th, while Guangzhou Baiyun went from 57th in 2022 to 9th in 2025.\u201cWe congratulate the world\u2019s busiest airports for managing growing air travel demand amid increasing operational complexity,\u201d ACI World Director General Justin Erbacci said.\u201cThese hubs keep people and goods moving, supporting global trade, tourism, and economic growth in their communities and regions.\u201cTo help keep pace with rising demand, governments must prioritize sustained investment in airports and the broader aviation ecosystem.\u201dThe busiest airports in Europe for 2025Only two airports in Europe made the top 10 list of the world\u2019s busiest airports based on passenger traffic for 2025.London Heathrow, which saw 84,482,126 passengers in 2025, came out seventh, down from fifth in 2024.Istanbul Airport in Turkey was just behind, with 84,437,710 passengers. The airport fell in the rankings from seventh to eighth, but made huge gains compared to 2019, when it was 28th in the world.Top 10 busiest airports in 2025 (based on total passengers):Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Georgia, USDubai International Airport, UAETokyo Haneda Airport, JapanDallas Fort Worth International Airport, Texas, USShanghai Pudong International Airport, ChinaO&#8217;Hare International Airport, Chicago, USLondon Heathrow Airport, UKIstanbul Airport, TurkeyGuangzhou Baiyun International Airport, ChinaDenver International Airport, Colorado, USInternational travel numbers soarOverall, international passenger traffic reached four billion in 2025 \u2013 a 5.9% gain on 2024, and 8.3% increased versus 2019.While Atlanta was the busiest airport overall, the busiest airport for international passengers was Dubai, with 95,192,160 leaving or entering the city on flights.
