The remaining spots in the top 5 are occupied by the Fukuoka (FUK) – Tokyo Haneda (HND) and Melbourne (MEL) – Sydney (SYD) routes.

As for international flights, the busiest international route in the world for 2024 is Hong Kong – Taipei. Following closely are Cairo – Jeddah and Seoul Incheon – Tokyo Narita.
