These are the world’s busiest trunk routes in terms of the volume of flights that operate on them. Unsurprisingly the biggest of these routes operate in Asia, with 14 of the Top 20 operating to and from destinations in Asia. Two operate within Europe, another two operate within North America, and one between North America and Europe. There is also one route which operates between two destinations in the Middle East.

Using key reports and power tables from OAG Analyser we take a deeper look at these busiest routes, their profiles in terms of size, carriers which operate them, whether they are growing, to what extent they operate on time and what aircraft typically operate on the route. We also take a look at how passengers use these routes to connect onwards to and from other places.

About OAG busiest routes
Top 20 Routes decoded •
Data from Schedules Analyser is for the 12 months to February 2018 and all data covers both directions of each route.
•
Frequencies and seats are calculated using jet aircraft frequencies only.
•
All routes are international.
•
OTP data is sourced from OAG’s Flight Status database and is for the 12 months to February 2018. Where average coverage falls below OAG’s 80% threshold, a route or carrier’s entry has been recorded as ‘not available (N/A)’.
•
Carriers shown to be operating the route are those with traffic rights to serve the route.
•
Passenger load factor is calculated by dividing bookings for each route by seats and represents an estimated bookings load factor which doesn’t take non-revenue passengers into account. Data • for this figure is based (for seats and bookings) on the period January-December 2017.
Connecting bookings data at origin and destination airports includes bridge, behind and beyond data.
