There are some airports that have a reputation of being busy, like Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta and O’Hare in Chicago, but one Florida airport has made the list of the Top 10 Busiest in the World.

Airports Council International (ACI) published their list based on passenger traffic in 2021, cargo volumes and aircraft movements.

Orlando International Airport made the list for the first time, with more than 40.4 million passengers. Between our year-round great Florida weather and being the home of theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, it makes sense that they’re one of the busiest airports in the world. The airport is also getting ready to open a new terminal to handle even more passengers in the future.

Top 10 Busiest Airports in the World:

According to state media, police have warned that Islamic extremists could be planning attacks on luxury hotels in China this week, ahead of US President George W. Bush's three-day visit in the country. The United States has alerted Americans living in southern China after receiving "credible information" that a terrorist threat may exist against US government facilities in the city of Guangzhou.

  LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 15: A jet comes in for landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on April 15, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. With skyrocketing fuel prices and a weak economy, US airlines are turning to mergers which could ultimately lead to higher fares through reduced flights and increased market power. US carriers emerged from a five-year slump in 2006 but with $35 billion in losses. In the latest merger move to save profits, Delta Air Lines Inc will buy Northwest Airlines Corp for more than $3 billion, creating the world's biggest airline. Recent profit challenges to the industry have lead to the shutdown of ATA, Skybus, and Aloha Airlines as well as bankruptcy for Frontier Airlines. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
• #4 O’Hare International Airport- Chicago, IL

  CHICAGO - APRIL 13: An American Airlines jet taxis near its runway April 13, 2006 at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois. Hoping, in part, to eliminate current and future flight delays, $15 billion expansion has begun and is expected to take upwards of seven years to complete. The airport was initially constructed in 1943 as an airplane manufacturing plant, later renamed Orchard Field Airport (thus the ORD on baggage claim tickets) and redeveloped for its first commercial flight in 1955. The airport as we know it today is named after a WWII pilot named Edward "Butch" O'Hare, who was once awarded the Medal of Honor. (Photo by Tim Boyle/Getty Images)
