In 2022, U.S. airports dominated in terms of traffic. Specifically, six of the ** airports with the highest passenger traffic during 2023 were located in this North American country. In particular, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in the city of Atlanta once again topped the ranking with approximately million passengers. Dubai Airport followed in second place, while Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport completed the podium. It is worth noting that, on this occasion, four European airports made the list: London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam Schiphol, and Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas.
