Passenger Index / Airports

US airports ranked by passenger traffic

458 airports · 12 months to September 30, 2026 · ranked by departing passengers screened · methodology

In the 12 months to September 30, 2026, the US airports that screened the most departing passengers at TSA checkpoints were Los Angeles International Airport (LAX, about 34.6 million), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK, about 32.8 million) and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD, about 32.4 million).

Rankings by this measure differ from airport-reported passenger totals, which also count arriving and connecting passengers. Connecting hubs rank lower here. International arrivals (CBP) are shown alongside for the airports CBP monitors; they count the opposite direction, so they are not added to the ranking figure. Hub class follows FAA-style shares of national TSA throughput: 29 large, 45 medium and 86 small hubs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the busiest airport in the US?

In the 12 months to September 30, 2026, the US airports that screened the most departing passengers at TSA checkpoints were Los Angeles International Airport (LAX, about 34.6 million), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK, about 32.8 million) and Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD, about 32.4 million). Rankings by this measure differ from airport-reported totals, which also count arriving and connecting passengers; big connecting hubs such as Atlanta (ATL), Charlotte (CLT) and Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) rank lower here than on those lists.

How many large hub airports are there in the US?

In Passenger Index's FAA-style classification for the 12 months to September 30, 2026, 29 airports are large hubs (at least 1% of national TSA checkpoint throughput), 45 medium hubs and 86 small hubs.

How often is this ranking updated?

It is rebuilt whenever new TSA FOIA checkpoint data is published. Public figures run to the end of the month before the latest data, rounded to three significant figures.
