On Monday, Airports Council International (ACI) World unveiled the preliminary list of the top 10 busiest airports worldwide for 2023 and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) once again tops the list.

ATL welcomed 104.7 million passengers in 2023, an 11.7% increase over the 2022.

Dallas Forth Worth International Airport (DFW), which has for years taken the second-busiest-airport spot, dropped to third busiest, edged out out Dubai International Airport (DXB).

While 5 airports in the top 10 rankings for total passenger traffic are in the United States, the shuffle at the top showcases “significant shifts driven by the resurgence of international air travel,” said ACI.

Tokyo Haneda (HND) is in the top 10 rankings at number 5 for 2023, which is a giant leap from its ranking of number 16 in 2022.

ACI estimated that the global total passenger forecast for 2023 will be close to 8.5 billion, reflecting a healthy recovery of 93.8% from pre-pandemic levels.

The airport rankings are based on data gathered from over 2,600 airports across more than 180 countries and territories globally.

Here are the rest of the Top 10 Busiest Airport rankings:
