Percentage of Int'l traffic at major airports.

Thu Jul 06, 2017 7:58 pm

What is the ratio of international vs. domestic traffic ( movements and pax ) at major airports around the world

I would think JFK or LAX or MIA leads for U.S.

How about DEN / ATL / ORD / DFW / SFO ?

LHR / FRA / AMS / CDG etc.

I know for certain that DEN doesn't have much of an int'l network compared to other airports, so it's bound to have a lower percentage.

Some airports (such as DXB and SIN) are 100% int'l due to lack of domestic traffic existing.

On the other side of that coin are the numerous airports with no int'l service, like ETH

a fairly irrelevant statistic, since it depends exclusively on the size of the "country" of the airport and on the definition of domestic/international. Is domestic in Europe:
a.) within a certain country?
b.) within the EU?
c.) within the Schengen area?
or b.)+c.) combined ?
You could do the same in the USA between statewide and nationwide traffic.

Groningen - Eelde Airport (GRQ) - Schiphol (AMS) and then on to London City with VLM, my only Fokker 50 flight to date. :D

Went from Utrecht to Eelde by car, left at 5 o'clock. Flew to AMS, went to work in Haarlem at 9, left Haarlem at 4 by train to Eelde and took the car back home, I was home at ten or so :D

Not sure if ARN is considered a major airport, but here are the 2016 data:

Passengers: 21% domestic (5.3 million), 79% international (19.4 million)
Cargo: 2% domestic (1,632 t), 98% international (75,756 t)
Mail: 42% domestic (7,969 t), 58% international (10,869 t)
Landings: 29% domestic (33,566), 71% international (82,079) (excluding GA and military aircraft).

ICN only has 3 domestic routes : TAE, PUS and CJU. In total they represent about 500,000 passengers annually.
Incheon is at 57,765,397. So yeah, a pretty big chunk of it is international.

Was the flight faster or slower than the train? Do you know when the last domestic flight that wasn't a tag on to an international flight closed?

Much slower off course. But you have to go to and from the airport. The public train system in the Netherlands is excellent and there aren't many people whom commute between Groningen and Amsterdam I guess. No demand for domestic flights. 2 hours from the center of Groningen to the center of Amsterdam, or 1,5 hours from the center of Eindhoven to the center of Amsterdam. So why take a flight? I know that after the War there were numerous of domestic flights, don't know when they stopped, can't be much later than 1975 or so.

KEF isn't a major airport but it is an interesting case of an airport that is exclusively international by design in a country that does have some domestic flying. KEF now has a "domestic" route to AEY but it is only meant for connections to international flights. You can not book only the KEF-AEY leg.

If you count RUN - PAR as being internation you can add PTP and FDF to that list

Google says otherwise. What's your source for the AUH-DXB flight's existence?

There are still some domestic flights in the Netherlands, but they're not seperately bookable. I'm talking about Transavia making hops between multiple Dutch airports before or after their final destination. In Belgium there are no domestic flights at all (although Belgium does have multiple airports).

Smallest country I could find that has domestic flights which are actually bookable is Denmark. Copenhagen is therefor not entirely international.

If somebody flies LAS-LAX-NRT are both legs part of an Intl journey or just the second?

I interpreted domestic as bookable, but yes some do these hops.

As for smallest country, I can imagine that some small island nations will have domestic flights, which are smaller than Denmark.

I thought there is some flight between DXB and AUH?

SIN is obvious for having basically 100% int't departure but some designated "international" airports in Asian cities probably has very high int'l passenger % as well - e.g. ICN or TPE

HKG is weird... 100% of passengers go thru immigration but a significant portion of flights are domestic flights to other Chinese airports.

HKG is weird because of the whole One China/Two Systems arrangement

Nope, EY run a bus service with a flight number. Just like some TGV trains in France have flight numbers.
