- 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.

Famous quotes containing the word claims:
“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
