The Atlanta airport became the busiest one in the world in 1998 by handling 73.5 million passengers. The title of ‘World's Busiest Airport’ was made official by the Airports Council International (ACI), based in Geneva, Switzerland. Atlanta's William B Hartsfield International Airport passed Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, which had 72.4 million passengers in 1998. O'Hare had been the busiest since 1961 and still leads in take-offs and landings. The next three busiest airports were Los Angeles International Airport with 61.2 million passengers, London's Heathrow Airport with 60.7 million, and the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport with 60.5 million.
