Atlanta closely follows Dubai International Airport with nearly 87 million passengers.
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas saw nearly 82 million passengers.

This is measured by the total number of served destinations and scheduled connections. Heathrow is also rightly recognized as the busiest airport in Europe in terms of available seats.
Approximately 12 hours after Heathrow closed, a statement was released announcing its reopening. However, travelers were advised to go to the airport only if their airline instructed them to do so, according to CBS News.
«Now we will work with airlines to repatriate passengers who were diverted to other European airports», - the updated statement said. «We hope to resume full operations tomorrow and will provide additional information soon».
