Dubai International Airport (DXB) achieved a historic achievement in early 2024, after being ranked as the world's largest airport in terms of both international and domestic seat capacity in January, and the airport also retains the title of the largest airport in terms of international capacity.
Dubai International Airport rose to first place in the world, according to the OAG classification for January 2024, surpassing Hartsfield Atlanta Airport, which retained this title for many years, thanks to the domestic traffic witnessed by the American airport, following a decline in scheduled capacity by 8 percent.
This is the first time that Dubai International Airport has ranked first in terms of international and domestic seat capacity, recording more than 5.03 million scheduled seats on departing flights in January, followed by Atlanta Airport, which fell to second place with about 4.7 million seats, Tokyo with 4.6 million seats, Guangzhou with 4.05 million seats, and London Heathrow with 4.03 million seats.
