It identifies the 15 airports that have grown the most since 2019, as well as the 15 airports that have contracted the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cancun is still far and away the airline industry\u2019s growth market all-star, as it has been for several quarters now. Demand for beach markets is booming, and airlines have responded by adding many more seats. However, It is not always just demand which drives big market changes. Sao Paulo\u2019s Congonhas airport is busier because regulators expanded slot availability. Conversely, Moscow is much less busy for geopolitical reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/02\/colombia-el-dorado-has-become-south-americas-busiest-airport.html\">Colombia: El Dorado has become South America\u2019s busiest airport<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newark makes an interesting and somewhat surprising appearance on the list of top growers. Spirit is expanding there using slots formerly held by Southwest. American and JetBlue are also growing there as part of their alliance. Turkish Airlines is new to the market. And most importantly at Newark, United has added new routes and larger planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of East Asia\u2019s busiest airports, meanwhile, remain far below their pre-Covid levels of activity. That should start changing soon with borders now open and demand now recovering. Keep in mind that Beijing and Chengdu both opened new airports, which helps explain why the old airports are less busy. Also note the troubles at Munich, which lost a lot of its low-cost capacity from carriers like easyJet and Eurowings. Detroit, for its part, lost many seats to Asia (it\u2019s one of Delta\u2019s main Asian gateways).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A final point to note: schedule data is subject to change somewhat as airline adjust their schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"887\" height=\"613\"
