Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) has officially been named the busiest airport in the world for the second year in a row with 62.7 million seats. It also held the position in 2023 and 2019.  OAG, the aviation analytics firm who made the determination, specifies that it bases its rankings on capacity airlines scheduled through the various airports on their list, not the exact number of passengers who flew during the period.  

“Atlanta’s continued global leadership reflects the airport’s strength as a major connecting hub for both domestic and international capacity, supported by a strong set of base airlines," OAG’s Chief Analyst, John Grant, said in a statement. "Recent developments in both Dallas/Fort Worth and Denver highlight the competitive nature of the market in the United States which results in choices for the connecting traveler market.”
