Chicago’s O’Hare is Officially the Nation’s Busiest Airport
I mean ... I could've told you this just from personal experience. Turns out I'm not the only one who would compare O'Hare to a zoo. The place is incredibly busy and can be very stressful. According to Chicago Sun Times -
O’Hare Airport has edged out Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport as the nation’s busiest — the first time since 2014, according to new data from the Federal Aviation Administration. Total arrivals plus departures at O’Hare topped 900,000 — the first time since 2014, according to the FAA. O’Hare’s traffic in 2018 — 903,747 flights — was up 4.2 percent compared with 2017.
That's A LOT of people passing through the Chicagoland area. Here's what the top 5 airports are according to the Chicago Sun Times -
