#PilotPeachy #LondonPeachy New York (JFK) to London Heathrow (LHR) is the 8th Busiest Global International Route in the World, OAG Data Reveals

OAG, the leading data platform for the global travel industry, today revealed its 2023 Busiest Routes in the world. The analysis is powered by OAG's Global Airline Schedules Data and provides an overview of route performance and trends, both internationally and domestically.

New York (JFK) to London Heathrow (LHR) is the only international route originating in the U.S. to be featured in the Top 10 Busiest Global International Airline Routes list, ranking #8 with 3,878,590 seats in 2023. JFK – LHR is also the only 2023 international route with capacity above 2019 levels, with 3.5 million seats from London to New York, an increase of 1% over 2019.

Three routes that are featured in this year’s top 10 U.S. domestic routes did not appear in the top 10 in 2019. These are #1 ranking Honolulu (HNL) to Kahului (OGG), #5 ranking Denver (DEN) to Las Vegas (LAS), and #8 ranking Denver (DEN) to Phoenix (PHX). Los Angeles (LAX) to San Francisco (SFO) ranks #6 this year after ranking #1 in 2019.

U.S. airports dominate the Top 10 Busiest Global Airports list this year. Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) ranks #1 with 61 million seats and was the busiest global airport in 2022 and 2019. Two U.S. airports in this year’s top 10 did not appear in the 2019 top 10: Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), ranking #5 and Denver International Airport (DEN), ranking #6. Rounding out the U.S. airports featured in this year’s Top 10 are Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), ranking #8 and Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), ranking #9.

“New York’s JFK now offers more international connections than any other U.S. airport,” said John Grant, chief analyst at OAG. “But domestic travel in the U.S. remains competitive. Navigating ongoing supply chain challenges successfully will be key for airlines and airports in the U.S. looking to attract more passengers and get capacity levels back to where they were in 2019.”

Outside of the U.S., Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Singapore Changi (SIN) ranks as the #1 busiest global international route in the world, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) ranks as the #2 busiest global airport in the world.

The busiest routes are defined as those with the largest volume of scheduled airline seats in 2023. Data is for flights in both directions on each route. The annual Busiest Routes report is collated from the monthly Busiest Routes reports, which are sourced from OAG’s Schedules Analyzer in the first week of each month. The data reflects the most recent year for the busiest scheduled domestic and international aviation routes in each category. Historical capacity data for 2019 and 2022 have been included for comparison.

The Top 10 Busiest Global Airports in the world are calculated using total airline capacity (domestic and international flights). The Top 10 Busiest International Airports are calculated using international airline capacity only. The rankings are based on scheduled one-way airline capacity for the year 2023. Historical capacity data for 2019 and 2022 have been included for comparison. The annual Busiest Airports report is collated from the monthly Busiest Airports reports, which are sourced from OAG’s Schedules Analyzer in the first week of each month.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
