The
United States has literally thousands of airports scattered throughout the whole country. The USA contains some of the busiest airports in the world. We created a list of the top 10 largest airports in the United States measured by size, not by traffic.
Is the biggest airport in the USA also the busiest one?
It doesn't always have to be that way that the largest airport is automatically also the busiest airport. For example, Denver International Airport is the largest airport in size but is only the sixth busiest airport in North America.
