These are the quietest and busiest airports in the UK - including London Gatwick and Heathrow

The quietest and busiest airports for international passengers in the UK have been revealed.

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.
