LONDON, UK-<\/strong> London Heathrow Airport (LHR)<\/a> leads as the world’s top hub for long-haul flights in September 2025, with 251 daily departures covering at least 3,000 statute miles each way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This surpasses other major airports like New York (JFK) and Dubai (DXB), driven by high demand and diverse carriers, including British Airways (BA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 400 airports globally offer such services, but the top 10 account for significant growth, rising 3% from last year to 1,336 daily departures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key players like Paris (CDG) and Doha (DOH) show shifts, with Doha climbing ranks due to new routes from airlines such as Qatar Airways (QR) and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
