From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The world's busiest city airport systems by passenger traffic are measured by total number of passengers from all airports within a city or metropolitan area combined. London , with six commercial airports serving its metropolitan area, is the busiest city airport system in the world,[ 1] although Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world's busiest individual airport .[ 2]
The following list is based on preliminary full-year figures provided by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ,[ 2] along with figures provided by airports and aviation ministries when not available from the former list.
