World's Busiest Airport - Non-standard Claims

Non-standard Claims

• Wittman Regional Airport, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States

The world's busiest airport by traffic movements during the seven-day EAA AirVenture Oshkosh event. 25,000 traffic movements are handled in a week during the yearly event, and air traffic controllers are picked by a competitive selection process to handle this traffic. During the event, a banner reading "WORLD'S BUSIEST CONTROL TOWER" is hung from the control tower.

• London Gatwick, 5 km (3.1 mi) north of the centre of Crawley, West Sussex, United Kingdom (approximately 45.7 km (28.4 mi) south of Central London).

Gatwick has the world's busiest single-use runway. It does have two runways on site but the close proximity of the two and the length and lack of guidance for the second means that only one is used. It is London's second largest international airport and second busiest by total passenger traffic in the United Kingdom after Heathrow.
