List of the busiest airports in Europe


This is a list of the 100 busiest airports in Europe, ranked by total passengers per year, including both terminal and transit passengers. Figures are usually updated in January or February as statistics for the previous year are released. This data is sourced individually for each airport, from a variety of sources, but normally from the relevant national aviation authority, or directly from the airport operator.
The tables also show the percentage change in total passengers for each airport over the last year. Lists of the rankings for every year since 2010 are also presented.
2020 and 2021 numbers were significantly reduced compared to 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused significant reductions in passenger numbers and aircraft movements.
As of 2024, among the top 100 airports 13 were located in Italy, 12 in the United Kingdom, 10 in France, 9 in Spain, 8 in Germany and Russia, 5 in Greece and Poland, 3 in Switzerland and Portugal, while Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden had 2 airports each.
