That's according to aviation consultancy OAG's latest rankings, calculated on the basis of seat capacity.

DXB logged over 4.12 million seats, coming in ahead of the second-placed London Heathrow Airport (over 3.47 million).

Amsterdam, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Frankfurt rounded out the top five spots.
