Top of the connectivity rankings is Kuala Lumpur International Airport followed by Manila (2), Seoul Incheon (3), Singapore Changi (4), Delhi (5), Jakarta (6) and Bangkok (10).
Kuala Lumpur also is the most connected airport for low-cost flights, the OAG Megahubs24 report said.
Additionally, the region is home to three of the top five global megahubs: Kuala Lumpur (2). Tokyo-Haneda (3) and Seoul Incheon (5). London Heathrow is the world’s busiest global megahub and Amsterdam is ranked fourth on the Top 50 global megahubs table.
“Kuala Lumpur does not have the highest volume of connections in comparison with some bigger hubs. But it has a higher ratio of connections to destinations served that have pushed it up the rankings from 12th place in 2019 and then 4th place in 2023,“ the OAG report said. :AirAsia operated 35% of flights to Kuala Lumpur in the year to last month, it added.
“We are seeing a slight shift to Asia highlighting the growing connectivity of Asian cities in a global network.”
* OAG said its rankings contained in its Megahubs24 report were generated by comparing the number of scheduled connections to and from international flights with the number of destinations served by the airport.
