In Brief: O’Hare Reclaims Title of World’s Busiest Airport

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), O’Hare International Airport (ORD) is once again the world’s busiest airport based on the total number of flight operations. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) previously held the title. In 2005, ATL bested ORD for the win, and it is still expected to remain on top in terms of passenger count.

This just means ORD has the most amount of RJ's. Not anything to be proud of at all, and in my book, definitely nothing to advertise...

My definition of busiest is defined by aircraft movements, not pax. Simple, and the FAA agrees.

don't forget, "total flight operations" includes freight too.

"O'Hare reclaims title as most delayed airport in the world" should be the title. (I don't actually know which airport has the most delays, just feels like O'Hare from my experiences)

My definition of busy would be passenger numbers not aircraft movements. How does O'Hare fare in this category?
