No regional ranking on this page
A regional table has to fix one comparability level, and too few of this region's countries are measured the same way to compare them fairly. The country pages below each carry their own ranking.
Every airport in this region
48All 48 published airports here, not only the ones the table above can rank. 6 have official monthly figures; 41 are counted daily from flight boards. The two are measured differently, so this list does not rank them against each other — each row says how its own figure was measured.
