Incheon International Airport in South Korea has overtaken London Heathrow and Singapore Changi to become the world’s busiest international passenger hub in the first half of 2026, handling 38.39 million passengers. This achievement comes 25 years after the airport's opening and is partly due to an increase in transit passengers from Middle Eastern airports affected by the conflict between the US and Iran.
