How to use this list

Every airport below has its own page, and our airports explained hub covers how they all work. Each page shows the same four things:

  • A live map of the planes around that airport right now.
  • Departure and arrival boards built from real ADS-B signals, not a timetable.
  • The story of the place: when it opened, how it grew, how it runs today.
  • Its busiest routes, with links to the airports at the other end.

Airports are sorted by yearly passengers. Use the search box to jump to a city, a country or a three-letter code.

Want the planes instead of the places? Try the aircraft database. Want to know who flies them? See the airline list. Curious how a code like LHR is chosen? Read airport codes decoded, or watch it all move on the live map.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an IATA and an ICAO airport code?

IATA codes are three letters used on tickets and baggage tags, like LHR or ATL. ICAO codes are four letters used by air traffic control and flight planning, like EGLL or KATL. The first ICAO letter identifies the region, which is why most US airports begin with K and most UK airports with EG.

Which is the busiest airport in the world?

By passenger numbers Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta has held the top spot for most of the past two decades, handling over 100 million passengers a year. By international passengers Dubai leads, and by cargo tonnage Memphis and Hong Kong trade places.

Can I see aircraft near an airport live?

Yes, when aircraft are transmitting within available receiver coverage. Airport pages group those observations as departing, arriving or nearby; they are not complete operational boards. Confirm gates and schedules with the airport or airline.

Why do some cities have more than one airport code?

Large cities often have several airports, each with its own code, plus a city code covering all of them. London uses LON for the city and LHR, LGW, STN, LTN and LCY for the individual airports.
