The airports with the most passengers 2022
If you never flew to or from Atlanta, I can tell you that it is an incredible airport and not necessarily because of its design., but yes because of the madness of air operations that they have. There is not a minute in the day that there is not a plane landing or taking off, so much so that annually 724.145 operations take place on their landing strips.
Passengers in thousands and their terminals always full, this is the Atlanta Airport, the most congested in the world and that maintains its global dominance for another year and with a very wide advantage over its closest follower, which is Dallas/Fort Worth.
Of course, If we compare with figures from 2018 where this same airport in Atlanta received more than 104 million passengers in a year, the statistics for the 2022 They are still very interesting, where we can see how Asian markets continue to delay their recovery, which has allowed a domain at the top of this list of terminals in the USA:
