Busiest US Airports of 2006
January 22nd, 2007 •
According to the FAA, the busiest airports in the US for 2006 were:
| Rank | Operations | Airport |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 976313 | Atlanta |
| 2 | 958643 | Chicago O’Hare |
| 3 | 702713 | Dallas-Fort Worth |
| 4 | 656842 | Los Angeles |
| 5 | 619474 | Las Vegas |
| 6 | 609522 | Denver |
| 7 | 603246 | Houston Intercontinental |
| 8 | 546510 | Phoenix |
| 9 | 515868 | Philadelphia |
| 10 | 510918 | Charlotte |
| 20 | 394915 | Van Nuys |
| 24 | 362796 | Santa Ana |
| 42 | 278388 | San Diego-Gillespie Field |
It is interesting to see that Gillespie Field is busier than Montgomery Field, busier even than Lindbergh Field (by about 4800 ops!). But I suppose I can say that I have flown in and out of 3 of the 50 busiest airports in the US.
