A Texas airport has been named the 2nd busiest in the world. US airports dominated the passenger traffic rankings in 2021, with eight of the top 10 in the United States.
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Texas was the second-busiest in 2021, with about 62.5 million passengers, and the international airport in Denver, Colorado, ranked third, with 58.8 million passengers.The list shows"an encouraging trend of recovery," Luis Felipe de Oliveira, ACI World's director general, said in a statement.
The airports in Charlotte, North Carolina ; Orlando, Florida ; and Las Vegas are new to the top 10 this year. Vacation magnets Orlando and Las Vegas were No. 31 and No. 30 for passenger traffic before the pandemic in 2019. "If we look back on 2020, China was one of the first to come out of the initial waves of the pandemic and it actually almost reached a full recovery by the end of 2020," said Patrick Lucas, ACI World's vice president for economics.
The significant role of international traffic is also part of the reason that Beijing's Capital and Shanghai's Pudong International airports have dropped out of the top 10. Beijing Capital -- once routinely No. 2 in passenger traffic -- is also seeing its traffic split by the city's new Daxing International Airport.ACI is advocating a"risk-based approach" to easing travel restrictions, following Covid-19 data, Lucas said.
