What’s the Largest Airport in the World?

By Erica Johnson on Dec 11, 2011 00:12 AM |
Did you ever wonder what is the largest airport in the world, in terms of scheduled flights?  No, it’s not London or Dubai: It is Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. with 9 million seats each month available on flights going all over the world.
What’s number two?  It’s now Beijing, China, though Atlanta still has 15% more seats than Beijing.
The next largest airport is Heathrow in London, which is followed by Tokyo Haneda.
Do you dream of flying a big jet into one of these airports?  Phoenix East Aviation can help make that dream come true.  See www.pea.com for more information. Complete a brief information form and an Admissions Officer will contact you to let you know how you can quickly begin your flight training.
