Well i saw the reason i said HKG-TPE was the world busiest route i forgot to say the worlds busiest international route, i saw that stats in the Guiness World book of records 2003 (i think the 2003) not sure!!!

OKAY im sorry i always thought its was HKG-TPE sorry!!!

Do somebody know if some of the Nippon carriers showed any interest for the A380?

the question was about the busiest International route, though… I don’t think anyone doubts the Japanese domestic routes are the busiest…

you just have to look at how many 747s are flying that route today, and they are configured to carry over 500ppl

hate to tell you this but over 20million people flew from main island Japan, like Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya to Sapporo last year.

of that 8million alone flew from Haneda to Chitose, making it by far the busiest route in the world.

guinness book of records is not the most reliable source if thats where your info comes from.

this is sunday HND and NRT-SPK schedule also schedules from NGO and KIX ITAMI.

Nope your wrong, its actually Hong Kong to Taipei, in terms of passenger numbers, i cant remember where i found the info most likely the Guiness World Book of records!!!

BA179 on any friday night LHR/JFK, whenever I operate it!!!!!!

It’s always full but a good flight to operate as the pax are mostly either to going to NYC shopping/sightseeing for the weekend or Americans working in London going home for a few days so everyone’s in a good mood……or they’re asleep (even better!!!!)

I remember the last time I was in Japan , I had to fly from Osaka to Tokyo.

ANA was operating a this time a kind of shuttle with 747-400’s and the flights were full !!!

Yes, that’s propably why Ryanair started operating with this route.

The busiest International air route in the world is in fact London-New York, the busiest international route in Europe is London-Paris

I’ve always been told, and an Irish friend is constantly quoting that it is London – Dublin.

i should think that one of the busiest international routes is London-Paris. think about all the airlines that compete on the route (loco’s included) – thats quite a few airlines!

adam

There are a few off the top of my head,
London-Dublin
London-Amsterdam
London-Paris

Not really accurate but probably amongst the busiest in general.

Yeah, definitely.

Obviously there are several domestic flights available throughout the world. But the number of passengers on all of these flights are low, mainly due to the size of the aircraft.

I suppose there must be some european/american routes with more flights but not more pax

I agree with Bhoy, it’s a very popular route.

I did once read that there were 23 flights every day between London Heathrow and New York. Then of course you can fly from Gatwick as well…
