What Is the Busiest Airport in the World?

in

Perhaps you thought it was John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Most people do!

But the busiest airport in the entire world is Chicago International Airport, also called O'Hare Field. At O'Hare, planes take off and land every 42.5 seconds around the clock.

That means 85 take-offs and landings every hour, 2,036 every day, 14,255 every week, and 741,272 every year!
