According to new data, Incheon, South Korea, is now the busiest airport in the world for international passenger traffic for the first time. According to preliminary figures from the Airports Council International, Incheon International Airport, the primary entry point to South Korea, handled 38.4 million foreign travelers during the first half of this year.
With 37.79 million passengers, London Heathrow Airport came in second, followed by Changi Airport in Singapore with 34.53 million. Due in part to the dispute between the United States and Iran, passengers from Middle Eastern aviation hubs were diverted to Incheon Airport.
Based on full-year statistics, Dubai International Airport was ranked second in both 2024 and 2025; this time, it is predicted to be outside of the top five. Incheon was placed 12th and 13th, respectively, while London’s Heathrow airport was ranked fifth in 2024 and seventh in 2025.
According to the airport company, some travellers who previously passed thru Dubai on their way to Europe are now using Incheon, contributing to an 18% increase in transfer passengers from the same time last year.
