I think it may be ORD, Chicago O'Hare for you civilians.
Atlanta?
ben is right. i did a story about the busiest airports in the country when i worked at the post. i don't know world statistics, but in the u.s. it's atlanta then chicago then lax.
Good guess L-to-the-Del. But ORD is #2.
Ben is on the money and Sam has the top three American airports down.
Top 5:
1. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
2. O'Hare International Airport
3. London Heathrow Airport
4. Tokyo International Airport
5. Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport
I don't know about you, but I though that was quite surprising. My guess would have been JFK (which is like 7 on the list).
What is more amazing is that you rarely hear about problems with the Atlanta airport -- they seem to run a pretty tight ship.
I was surprised too. the story i did was about airport delays. while jfk, lga and newark dont have the most traffic, they are the three worst in terms of on time departures.
