Wednesday 21 August 2024
Once you’ve stepped off a long flight, collected your baggage and made it through customs, the last thing you want is the final leg of your journey to be another long, tedious slog. That’s why arriving in an airport that is well-connected to the surrounding region can be a game-changer – and now we know which airports offer passengers the least amount of faff.
Based on data from the first two quarters of 2024, aviation analytics platform Cirium has compiled a list of the best-connected airports around the world based on the number of nonstop destinations they serve. Claiming the top spot is the same airport that recently reclaimed its crown as the best all-round airport on the planet – iGA Istanbul Airport!
That’s right – this hub serves a whopping 309 destinations, jetting ahead of every other airport on the list. Frankfurt serves 296 places, Paris Charles de Gaulle serves 282 and Amsterdam Schiphol serves 270.
Chicago’s O’Hare airport claims fifth place as it also serves 270 destinations, making it the most well-connected hub in North America, but you can check out the rest of the list below, which all serve at least 200 places respectively.
