Europe's busiest airport now sees activity at Istanbul Airfield
In an unprecedented turn of events, Istanbul Airport in Turkey claimed the title of Europe's busiest airport during the week of August 18-24. The European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) reported this significant occurrence in European aviation.
During the specified period, Istanbul Airport averaged an impressive 1,635 daily flights, surpassing the daily flight activity of other European airports. This high flight activity was a notable event, marking a new record for European airports.
Istanbul Airport was followed closely by Amsterdam Airport, which recorded 1,450 daily flights. The other top European airports, including Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport, Frankfurt Airport, and London Heathrow Airport, had fewer daily flights than Istanbul Airport. Frankfurt Airport had 1,384 daily flights, Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport had 1,432, and London Heathrow Airport had 1,346.
Antalya Airport, the hub of the Turkish Riviera, also saw increased activity during the same week. With 1,055 daily flights, it ranked as the eighth-busiest airport in Europe, but it was still lower than the five busiest European airports.
The daily flight activity of Antalya Airport was higher than that of any other European airport besides the top five during the week of Aug. 18-24. This high activity at Antalya Airport, while impressive, could not match the record-breaking numbers seen at Istanbul Airport.
It's important to note that the data for Antalya Airport's daily flights was not provided by Eurocontrol in the given article. Additionally, the search results do not provide information about the name of the person who led Istanbul Airport during the specified time period.
This surge in flight activity at Istanbul Airport is a testament to the growing importance of Turkey as a travel destination and a hub for European aviation. As travel continues to rebound post-pandemic, it will be interesting to see how these trends evolve.
