Busiest air routes from the UK

Hello everybody I was wondering if anybody would know where I could find a list of the busiest routes to/from the UK.

JFK/DUB/EWR/FRA/HKG are all the obvious ones but is there a list of the top 20/50 anywhere on-line. Any help would be appreciated.

From looking at those tables how can you pick the busiest routes so easily?

Strange how they categorise it by country, then sort it by each airport and each destination…surely it would have been easier to organised it just by origin airport and destination?

It’s the way that the data is reported to ICAO/CAA and remember that the CAA is reporting UK statistics so it has a duty to show figures for individual UK airports.

Table 11.1 or 12.1. It’s all there. You just need to copy the .csv into excel and then sort.

Can anyone tell which country is served the most from the UK?

I assumed it would be France (for CDG), Netherlands (for AMS) or the USA?!:D

Go to this link, and pick 2006 annual, then Table 12.1. Remember that you may have to consider city pairs, rather than airport pairs!

I would guess places like MCO/SFB, YYZ and even TFS and PMI to be ahead of HKG.
