In terms of passenger movements, London Heathrow is the third busiest airport in the world after Atlanta and Beijing Capital, busiest in Europe and busiest in terms of international passengers.
In 2009, it handled 65.9 million passengers. It's busiest ever year was 2005 when it recorded 67.69 million passengers. In 2011 Heathrow's passenger count is predicted to reach 70 million.
In 2008, Manchester airport (MAN) handled 204,610 aircraft movements. Assuming an equal number of flights every day, that equates to 560 movements a day, 31 per hour or one plane landing or taking off every 2 minutes.
I found a site which stated Heathrow managed 473000 flights last year, which would mean around 40000 per month.
Just under 22,000 per month in 2007.
Approximately 96,000 passengers per day arrive at Heathrow.
Heathrow Airport operates approximately 1,300 flights per day, with around 650 planes departing.
Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Intl. is the busiest airport in the world, handling 76.7 million passengers in 2002, however London Heathrow(LHR) handled more international flights. when all the airports in a city are combined, London by far handles the most passengers than any other city, with 20 million per year! Newark airport and JFK combined do not handle as many passengers as LHR alone per year.
