Busiest Commercial Airline Routes

                If you’ve ever wondered the most commonly traveled commercial airline routes in the U.S., I’ve got them.  And what about in the world?  I’ve got that, too. 

               According to Amadeus, a company that provides technology to the travel industry and tracks the cities where passengers start and end their travels, the busiest airline route in the world is Juju (a South Korean island)-Seoul, South Korea.  Out of the 15 busiest commercial airline routes listed in the graph below, 11 are routes between Asian destinations. 

                While the U.S. did not make this list, nor in fact did North America in general, the three busiest American routes were tracked as well.  The busiest is New York-Chicago, followed by New York-Fort Lauderdale, and finally New York-Los Angeles.
