Condé Nast Traveller have ranked the five busiest – and five quietest – airports in the country, based on passenger data from 2023.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, many of the UK's busiest airports are in London. Just one airport in the top five is outside the capital.
Meanwhile, smaller regional airports in the UK are among the country’s quietest.
Here are the top five busiest and top five quietest airports for international passengers in the UK.
