After yesterday’s News item about Reid International ranking fourth least stressful out of the 20 largest airports in the U.S., this revelation makes that an even more impressive feat. According to Airports Council International, the primary global trade association for airport operators, Reid is the fifth busiest airport in the world for the number of aircraft landings and takeoffs; its 586,046 takeoffs and landings to and from 170 destinations in 2025 placed it behind Chicago’s O’Hare, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson, Dallas Ft. Worth, and Denver. Shanghai at number eight was the busiest internationally. Atlanta ranked first for total passengers at 106.3 million, followed by Dubai at 96 million, and Vegas didn’t place anywhere near the top with a mere 40-plus million last year. Total airline passengers worldwide were estimated to be just under 10 billion and the top 10 busiest airports for passengers represented 9% of the total.
