The cachet of being known as the world's busiest airport is fiercely fought over by owners of the world's largest airports.

The following airports have variously made claims (or had claims made for them).

• Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Atlanta, Georgia, United States - Largest number of passengers annually (1998-2003) - Most arrivals and departures annually (1999-2000)
• O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois, United States - Largest number of passengers annually (pre-1998) - Most arrivals and departures annually (pre-1998, 2001-)
• Frankfurt International Airport, Frankfurt am Main, Germany - Most international destinations served.
• Heathrow Airport, London, United Kingdom - Largest number of international passengers annually
• Los Angeles International Airport, Los Angeles, California, United States - Most passengers with final destination in airport city (not just stop-over)
• Memphis International Airport, Memphis, Tennessee, United States (home of FedEx) - Most cargo traffic by volume annually

Before O'Hare took the lead in 1962, the world's busiest airport by passenger and aircraft movements was Chicago's Midway Airport, which took the title in 1932 (before World War II, Chicago was the origin or destination of one in four U.S. airline flights).
