BUSIEST AIRPORT battle, the world”s that is, will not be resolved until early February when Atlanta, currently number one (left), and Chicago O”Hare publish their official figures likely to be 5% above last year”s 79m and 68m respectively. In the meantime O”Hare has come in with an astonishing 992,471 aircraft movements in 2004, whilst Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson saw 962,460 flights. Whilst not officially published yet Heathrow is likely to have moved around 67m passengers through the present four terminals and 475,000 landings and take-offs. In terms of international flyers it is still well in the lead.
