(Part 1) Atlanta, Beijing & Chicago are all busier than Heathrow but what a lot of people don't understand is Heathrow is the most sought out airspace in the world. Heathrow has hit its max capacity and can't grow anymore because there's just no space to grow. If tomorrow, Heathrow decided to make a 8 runway airport with terminals the size of the new Dubai Al Maktoum Airport with a capacity of 160 million, those gates would be purchased by airlines and sold out in hours!

Just to think, this was recorded years ago, since then, British Airways has build Terminal 5, Retired their 757's, brought more 777, Airbus's, and changed their livery, PLUS More flights have been added and passenger numbers have increased!

@leathermodelcuir It was badly explained but they didn't mean actually taking off in opposite directions, they meant departing aircraft following alternating departure routings after takeoff, so if flight 1 takes off from 27R and turns right after departure, flight 2 takes off 27R but turns left after departure.

London: aside from LHR, London has four other airports, plus other small airstrips including an RAF base. And high altitude aircraft passing the UK, and lower aircraft from Europe. Plus choppers and local traffic. Bit scary.

Every busy airport says it is the busiest; much like every office or business you visit says, ''we are really busy, all the time; some staff are on leave, too". . Cheers. from del-boy.

What, you mean Heathrow air traffic controlers don't take naps in front of their screens? Amazing!

Actually as everyone else is saying - London Heathrow is busier. It is the BUSIEST in terms of international passengers, it is one of the busiest in the world. It has only 2 runways whilst Atlanta has 4. No one outside of the US know of Atlanta, everyone knows Heathrow.

If anything, the airport and airspace is just as much busier than when the video was released. Since then, Terminal 5A,B and C have been built, Terminal 2 Is being rebuilt and plans for the same for T1. New airlines have joined the airport as well as larger aircraft such as the A380 doing daily flights. As well as this, Heathrow are still pushing to try and get a 3rd runway, this is an airport showing no signs of slowing down!

@zaeemahmedabbasi Actually, Heathrow can only operate planes from 06:00 to 23:00 - due to noise level contraints - which is a total of just 17 hours, or 1020 minutes. So, it's less than a flight a minute.

The caption at the start of the video talking about 1400 flights per day seems to imply that LHR has the most aircraft movements in the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. That accolade goes to Atlanta also with 950,000 movements per year (2600 per day). LHR is only in 13. position with 455,000 movements per year (1246 per day)

Airplanes never take-off and land in opposite directions as shown in the animation in this video. They always head in the same direction (against the wind) for both.

@Pink038 It can seem that way I know. They're only allowed a very limited number of flights between 11pm to 6am. If they break the limit they face hefty fines, but sometimes they have to clear a backlog of late night flights because of delays and may run over 11pm. Also, some direct long-haul flights arrive during the "quiet time" so this may be what you are hearing/seeing.

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Atlanta, Georgia, United States 2,700 Aircrafts Movement per day.. World's Busiest Airport... Largest number of passengers annually. (1998-present) Most arrivals and departures (operations) annually. (1999-2000, 2005-present).[6] In 2007, Hartsfield again set the world's record for most aircraft movements in one year with 994,346....

It may be busy yes, but US ATC is far more significant, ATL and DFW both continuously run triple simultaneous arrivals, with a ground control that is harder to work than any control position in the world I'd say. Then you have ZNY airspace, three major airports all in the same virtually the same spot, the most complex airspace in the world.
