If you elbowed your way through Denver International Airport over the holidays, this will come as no surprise--DIA is officially one of the busiest airports in the country. According to the FAA, it's the 6th busiest in the United States.
For the third straight year, Atlanta International Airport has retained its title as the nation's busiest airport in terms of flights, according to government data released Wednesday. The Federal Aviation Administration reports that the Atlanta airport logged 994,466 flights in 2007, up 1.8 percent from 976,447 flights in 2006.
Flights include takeoffs and landings.
Its rival, Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, was listed as second busiest, with 935,000 flights in 2007. That's down 2.4 percent from the number it had in 2006.
