Airports Council International (ACI) World tallies airline traffic numbers each year and the trade group just released the official list of the busiest airports in the world in 2023.
A preliminary list was released in April. And, as it did then, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) tops the list for passenger traffic, followed by Dubai International Airport and Dallas Fort Worth.
We have once again been confirmed as the 2023 World’s Busiest Airport by @ACIWorld. With 104.6 million passengers passing through ATL – an 11.7% increase from the previous year – we are dedicated to serving our passengers for years to come! ❤️✈️ pic.twitter.com/rD87Yvgi5z
