[edit] Incorrect Statistics?

why has heathrow gone down 10,000 yet still report a 0.4% rise, its supposed to be 67,000 which makes it the 2nd busiest not 57,000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitchell-16 (talk • contribs) 11:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

2006 Final Results are in dated 18 July 2007 --Highflier

Somebody mistakenly listed Chicago O'Hare as the busiest airport in 2006.


This article needs a major cleanup, maybe it could even be featured with a lot of work. Phoenix2 06:29, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

Any proposals for improvements? I was wondering if a table format is better, for example.--Huaiwei 07:17, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

It needs still a major cleanup, I changed only Frankfurt. The German state the airport belongs to is not called "Hesse", but "Hessen". I think the name of the airport is wrong, too. After my knowledge it should be Rhein-Main International Airport instead of Frankfurt International Airport.

crap page. many big airports are without reasons outside the list. the Leonardo da Vinci in Roma, had 30.675.578 pasengers in the 2004 and something more in the 2005. (OFFICAL STATISTIC - http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroporto_internazionale_Leonardo_da_Vinci)

Another problem: The table lists Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport as the 13th busiest, but the corresponding article for that airport says it is the 12th. Which is correct?

Yet another stats problem, in 2004 Toronto was listed as #29, in 2005 Toronto is listed as #29 yet the "rank change" column claims that it went down by one rank - which is clearly incorrect. CraigWyllie (talk) 03:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

ITALY

Rome International Airport had 32.945.223 passengers in 2007. It should be the 30th airport and not Barcelona.

Added data/update for 2005 from ACI.

Toronto passanger numbers: Why is Toronto 29th with 23 million passangers to date? Is there a mistake in the number of passangers?

8th January 2007

[edit] Why are the FAA's stats so different from Wikipedia's sources?

I knew something was wrong when I saw JFK was listed above much busier airports like Vegas and Phoenix. These figures look much more accurate.

FAA counts plane; this article counts passengers! HkCaGu (talk) 01:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flag(s) for HKG

If only one flag is "allowed", it should be the HKSAR flag. China does not have provincial flags and the SAR flags were created for a reason--for international use. In the USA, a government building would always have two flags (US and state), and if not you can be sure it's a federal government office. However, in Hong Kong, government buildings can have only one flag (HKSAR). (And similarly, if only PRC flag shows, you can be sure it's a PRC government office.) Hong Kong goes to the Olympics with the SAR flag. That should be the case here. HkCaGu (talk) 16:21, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Year to date ranking

This article needs a policy on how to rank the airports in the year to date table. Should we rank them by the ACI's data (to date) or the airports' data (full year)? I think that is important for consistency; coherency is harder to achieve because data (from different sources) aren't coherent. Canaima (talk) 01:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] American Dominance

Not related to editing, but does anyone know if all these flights through American airports are mostly domestic or international? Those are some crazy numbers. DaronDierkes (talk) 08:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
