The global aviation landscape in June sees a total of 8,200 daily widebody flights across more than 500 airports. Among these, ten airports have surpassed the mark of 170 daily departures. Tokyo Haneda Airport maintains its position as the busiest airport for widebody aircraft, benefiting from its proximity to downtown Tokyo and its extensive domestic network.

New York's JFK Airport ranks tenth globally with 172 daily widebody departures, marking an improvement from its previous position during winter. This increase is attributed to seasonal demand and fare hikes.

Tokyo Haneda leads with 321 daily twin-aisle departures, with nearly half being operated by All Nippon Airways. The route between Haneda and Sapporo stands out with multiple airlines deploying various aircraft models including the A350-900 and several Boeing models like the 777 and 787 series.

Dubai Airport follows closely behind Tokyo Haneda but faces limitations due to slot availability. Despite this, Dubai is expected to surpass Haneda once airlines transition operations to Al Maktoum Airport.

London Heathrow holds third place with significant long-haul traffic comprising most of its widebody operations. British Airways is a major operator at Heathrow, though other carriers such as Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines also contribute substantially to the airport’s flight numbers.

Doha Airport presents a contrasting picture where Qatar Airways dominates the scene with over 90% of widebody flights. The airline's partnerships further bolster its presence at Doha, particularly with new routes like Virgin Australia's services connecting Doha to Australia starting in June.

Other notable airports include Singapore Changi and Seoul Incheon which maintain robust schedules thanks largely to their primary operators—Singapore Airlines and Korean Air respectively—while Istanbul Airport benefits from Turkish Airlines' strong presence despite a lower percentage of twin-aisle flights compared to others on the list.

In conclusion, while these airports continue to handle substantial widebody traffic in June, their rankings reflect strategic adjustments by airlines responding to passenger demand dynamics and operational constraints like slot availability.
