Incheon Airport, located in South Korea, has claimed to have surpassed Dubai and is now considered the busiest airport in the world in terms of international passengers. This change in ranking comes after a period in which traveler flow through Dubai was affected by the war in Iran.

In addition to Incheon Airport, Heathrow in the United Kingdom ranks second on the list of the busiest airports, while Shanghai in China holds the third position, according to various sources.

Reports indicate that the recovery of Incheon Airport coincides with the gradual return of international travelers, exacerbated by the decrease in demand at traditional connecting airports like Dubai.
