It's safe to say that Singapore Changi Airport has an A-list resume with the number of awards it has racked up – world’s fifth most luxurious airport, most Instagrammed, best for shopping, and home to a terminal so stunning it’s officially one of the world’s most beautiful. And just to flex a little more, it’s now officially the fourth busiest international airport in the world according to Travel And Tour World’s report, handling a jaw-dropping 67.7 million passengers last year.
Leading the aviation pack is Dubai International Airport (DXB), retaining its title as the world’s busiest airport for yet another year with a record of 92.3 million passengers being handled in 2024. Meanwhile, Seoul Incheon and Istanbul airports have seen significant improvements compared to pre-pandemic 2019. London Heathrow (LHR) and Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) also reported record-breaking passenger volumes.
Last year, Singapore Changi Airport bounced back to nearly pre-pandemic levels, handling 99.1% of its 2019 passenger numbers. With its prime location for Asia-Pacific and long-haul flights, it's no wonder Changi remains one of the world’s top international transit hubs. And hold onto your seatbelt – by 2025, it’s expected to not just meet but surpass its previous records, continuing its upward flight path.
Here are the top 5 busiest international airports in the world:
- Dubai International (DXB) – 60,200,000 seats, 92,300,000 passengers
- London Heathrow (LHR) – 48,400,000 seats, 83,900,000 passengers
