Whether your next business proposal is in the heart of Tokyo or you simply want to have a break in Vienna, this airport has it all. Plus, with Turkish Airlines as the main carrier, don’t be shocked if afterwards, when their flight is back to Istanbul, they decide to book an extra flight to a new city instead.
• Europe Takes a Back Seat: Istanbul leads the way ahead of Germany’s Frankfurt airport (which has 296 connections), France’s Paris Charles de Gaulle (282), and the Netherlands’ Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (270). In fact, Amsterdam had to share the position number four with Chicago O’Hare.
• Dubai on the Rise: Long gone is the smooth sail for London Heathrow as Dubai airport, which registered 269 connections, took the tenth slot concerning airports with the greatest connections. With the new position in the table for Heathrow in the 12th position, there is a need for a change in the way the airport operates. Ouch!
