Re: Countries and regions where the airport of the largest city is not the busiest
The answer to this question mostly comes down to how you limit a "city". Seoul-Incheon is technically in Incheon, which is a city in its own right, while the older Seoul-Gimpo, IIRC, is in Seoul proper.

Go figure!
Took a awhile but that is the most obvious one. FRA is the busiest but Berlin is the largest city.
Umm, OP had already listed it in his description.

Yes, but DFW technically is not even in the city of Dallas nor the city of Fort Worth (The land DFW seats on is own by the two cities, however). City of Dallas and City of Fort Worth by themselves are smaller than City of Houston, even if you add up the population of Dallas and Fort Worth. But can you ignored the like of Arlington (7th Largest city in TX), Plano (9th Largest), Garland (12th largest), Irving (13rd largest), etc.? No.
Which is why using city limit, especially in US, is absolutely stupid. Jacksonville has more people than Miami within its city limit, so what? Miami metro is a LOT larger. On the other hand, MCO is busier than MIA, so Florida is still an example where largest city/metro area doesn't have the busiest airport.
Agreed that the city limit thing is nonsense that's why I responded in the manner that I did. There's no question that the DFW Metro is larger, and I agree that the City of Houston is larger than the City of Dallas.
