Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is still the nation's third busiest airport. It retained its rating as the nation's third busiest airport with 702,713 flights, according to statistics from the Federal Aviation Administration. That's a 2.2 percent decrease from 2005. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport remained the nation's busiest airport with a total of 976,307 flights in 2006, down 0.4 percent from 2005. Chicago O'Hare, ranked the second-busiest airport, had 958,643 flights in 2006, which was down 1.4 percent from 2005. One reason for the overall decline in the number of flights is that the nation's legacy carriers have been reducing their number and capacity of their flights to trim expenses and to fly routes with fuller planes.
