This year, though, several major airports, particularly in China, have come roaring back to life, many exceeding their pre-pandemic capacity. Guangzhou Baiyun (CAN) is one such airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s grown substantially both through and after the pandemic, maintaining an impressive operation even when the international flights disappeared. In fact, during the worst of the crisis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/27076-world-s-busiest-guangzhou-baiyun-international-airport\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">CAN outpaced struggling Atlanta to become the busiest airport<\/a> in the world in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>In the last year alone, the airport has increased the number of seats on sale by 12%, enabling it to scoot up the table from 10th busiest in 2023 to seventh busiest this year. Seventy-six million passengers passed through the airport in 2024, a record for Guangzhou Baiyun and an increase of 20% year on year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>China Southern has driven much of the growth at Guangzhou, and 2024 saw it establishing many new routes. Among those was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/london-gatwick-china-destinations-growth\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">thrice-weekly connection to London Gatwick<\/a>, new direct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/china-southern-to-launch-direct-guangzhou-to-doha-flights-starting-april-2024\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">flights to Doha<\/a>, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/china-southern-returns-adelaide-services\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">resumption of service to Adelaide<\/a>.

Since 2019, it has added 15% more seats for sale, with 5% added just last year. But it slipped down the busiest airport rankings, pushed down from seventh by Guangzhou by a couple of hundred seats, and clinging on to eighth position, just 14,000 seats ahead of Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>Turkish Airlines is already the airline that flies to more destinations than any other, reaching 269 cities in 131 countries.

ORD added 8% more seat capacity in 2024, which is an impressive level of growth, but despite this, it remains 7% under its capacity for 2019, when it was the world\u2019s sixth busiest airport. Nevertheless, its year-on-year growth has seen it claw its way back up the table from 15th position in 2023 to 10th this year.<\/p>\n<p>United provides the lion\u2019s share of capacity from Chicago, operating 52% of the flights. It had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/united-winter-expansion-2024-2025\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">record winter for flying<\/a>, extending some European routes out of Chicago later into the season and adding several new Latin American destinations. Although it had more than half the flights, United says it only has 48% of the gates, and is hoping for more gates in 2025 to support further expansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The airport had some knockbacks in 2024, most notably Air New Zealand suspending its Auckland service due to engine issues. But it had some new arrivals too, with Avianca inaugurating a Bogota route in October, and ITA launching Rome flights in April. American plans to begin Madrid flights from ORD at the end of March 2025.<\/p>\n<p>While ORD is growing its international connections, it remains an important domestic airport too. The route from Chicago O\u2019Hare to New York La Guardia (LGA) is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerotime.aero\/articles\/busiest-flight-routes-usa-2024\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow\">seventh busiest domestic route in the US<\/a> with more than 1.15 million passengers a year, while both Los Angeles and Denver see more than a million passengers annually.
