Top 21 busiest passenger air routes, September 2007

Based on data provided by airline statistics consultancy OAG (Official Airline Guide), in September 2007 the world's ten busiest air routes, in terms of flight operations per week, are listed below[1].

Note that these statistics do not consider the number of passengers carried, nor do they aggregate air movements made at other airports in the same city. The data is based on flights made in September 2007, and is not seasonally adjusted.

The busiest air routes appear to be domestic flights between the largest cities in a country, where distance makes air travel the most viable form of transportation.
