Istanbul Named Top Airport for Connections

News summary

Istanbul Airport is the leading hub for international travel, providing connections to 309 destinations, followed by Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, and Chicago O'Hare. Remote airports like Svalbard, Barra, and Tenzing-Hillary serve crucial roles for isolated communities and adventure seekers. San Francisco International ranks third in North America for long-haul flights, with 41 destinations served, largely due to United Airlines' significant presence. While some airlines have exited the market, new entrants continue to emerge, enhancing travel options. Notably, Bangkok remains the largest unserved market from San Francisco, raising questions about future route viability. Ascott is expanding its footprint in Southeast Asia with over 360 properties, reflecting a post-pandemic growth trend in the hospitality sector.
