The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore route falls to fourth place in 2024, while the Hong Kong-Taipei route takes the top spot. Asia-Pacific routes continue to recover strongly from the pandemic.
The Kuala Lumpur to Singapore Changi route (KUL-SIN), once the world's busiest international airline route, has slipped to fourth place in 2024. With 5.4 million seats this year, the route saw a modest decline from its top position in 2023. However, the route still recorded a 10% increase from the previous year and was only 3% short of pre-pandemic levels in 2019. The Hong Kong to Taipei route (HKG-TPE) takes the crown as the busiest international route, surging to 6.8 million seats in 2024.
This marks a significant rise of 48% from the previous year, though it remains 15% below 2019 levels. The second and third busiest routes this year are Cairo to Jeddah (5.5 million seats) and Seoul Incheon to Tokyo Narita (5.4 million seats), respectively. Meanwhile, the Bangkok to Hong Kong route has joined the Top 10, securing the seventh position with 4.2 million seats — a 29% rise compared to 2023, though still 13% down from 2019. OAG’s report highlights that Asia-Pacific routes have experienced strong growth, continuing to recover from the pandemic. Notably, the Hong Kong-Taipei route has seen the most significant capacity boost. Of the Top 10 busiest international routes for 2024, seven are based in Asia, while one each comes from Africa (Cairo to Jeddah), Europe/North America (New York JFK to London Heathrow), and the Middle East (Cairo to Jeddah and Dubai to Riyadh)
