The biggest jump in the top 10 was recorded for London Heathrow (LHR). They all have significant domestic passenger shares (between 75% and 95% domestic traffic).Īirports reinstated in the upper ranks also include Dubai Airport achieving 5 th rank (DXB, 66.1 million passengers, +127%), Istanbul Airport reaching 7 th position (IST, 64.3 million passengers, +73.8%), followed by London Heathrow Airport, Delhi Airport, and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport in the 8 th, 9 th, and 10 th spots respectively (see table below).
