Dubai International (DXB) has reclaimed its position as the world’s busiest international airport.

That's according to aviation consultancy OAG's latest rankings.

Dubai International pushed Amsterdam Schiphol into second place while Frankfurt and London Heathrow rounded out the top four spots.

The rankings were calculated using airlines' international seat capacity and flight frequency in October compared to the same month in 2019 before the start of the pandemic.
