Each year, OAG (Official Airline Guide) compiles a list of the busiest flight routes by global region (and throws the busiest international route in for good measure). The OAG’s lists are based on the number of weekly flights for a particular route; they do not take into account the number of passengers on those flights. There were some close races, but clear “winners” did emerge, so keep reading to see which routes play host to the most flights week after week… |
Busiest International Flight Route
- Amsterdam (Schiphol), Netherlands - London (Heathrow), UK - 350 flights/wk
Busiest Flight Route within Europe
- Barcelona - Madrid - 971 flights/wk (**Barcelona - Madrid is the busiest flight route in the world.)
Busiest Flight Route within North America
- Honolulu - Kahului (Island of Maui) - 639 flights/wk
- Las Vegas - Los Angeles - 553 flights/wk (busiest major trunk route in North America)
Busiest Flight Route within the Asia/Pacific
- Jeju, South Korea - Seoul (Gimpo), South Korea - 858 flights/wk
Busiest Flight Route within Latin America
- Sao Paulo, Brazil - Rio de Janeiro (Santos Dumont), Brazil - appx. 900 flights/wk
Busiest Flight Route within the Middle East
- Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - 324 flights/wk
Busiest Flight Route within Africa
- Cape Town, South Africa - Johannesburg, South Africa - 831 flights/wk
Offered seats/wk would be more meaningful than flights/wk… And as you say flying passengers/wk is even better
