The United Kingdom's aviation sector is dominated by London's airports, but significant air traffic also flows through major regional hubs. Manchester Airport leads as the largest airport outside London, with over 30 million passengers in 2024. The facility serves nearly 200 global destinations and plans a £1.3 billion upgrade to merge two terminals.
Edinburgh Airport, Scotland's busiest, handled 15.7 million passengers last year, marking its busiest period yet. The airport provides flights to over 150 international locations and maintains a robust transatlantic network.
Birmingham Airport ranks third among UK airports outside London, serving 12.7 million passengers in 2024. It acts as a base for low-cost carriers like Jet2.com and Ryanair.
