Felipe De-Oliveira travel tips

New ASQ 2023 Global Traveller Survey report provides key insights into the evolution of traveller behaviours and expectations

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) has once again been crowned the busiest airport in the world, serving a whopping 104.6 million travelers in 2023. The Airports Council International (ACI), the trade association of the world’s airports, published its annual rankings on Monday. Most notably, Atlanta’s international airport saw an 11.7% increase in traffic from the previous year when it also ranked as the busiest airport in the world.   The demand for domestic flights remained robust, with ACI’s report indicating a recovery of 96.8% of the 2019 passenger traffic level. However, the most encouraging trend was the resurgence of international air travel, which experienced a robust 36.5% growth and welcomed 90.4% of passengers from pre-pandemic numbers in 2019. 

International travel is almost back to pre-pandemic levels, according to the just-released list of the world's busiest airports in 2023.

Taking on the role during the unprecedented challenges posed by the global pandemic, Luis Felipe de Oliveira steered ACI World through the most severe crisis ever experienced in the aviation sector. While challenges remain in the airport industry and will require long-term attention, he leaves with a sense of mission accomplished, having elevated the organization to new heights.

During the five-day review from 26–30 November, Bahrain Airport Company (BAC) and ACI World also signed a Declaration of Commitment and Collaboration, solidifying their shared dedication to promoting excellence in airport operations.

Submissions will run until 15 March 2024, before they are reviewed by a panel of industry experts. Winners will be announced before, and celebrate at, the ACI Asia-Pacific and the Middle East / ACI World Annual General Assembly, Conference, and Exhibition, taking place in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from 21–23 May 2023.
