South China's Guangzhou beat out Atlanta as host to the most air traffic in a coronavirus-wracked 2020, replacing Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International from a perch it occupied for more than two decades, according to Bloomberg.
Moving up from 11th place in 2019, Guangzhou's Baiyun airport, with nearly 43.77 million passengers through 2020, topped the list due to China's effective control of the pandemic, Xinhua reported, citing data from the Airports Council International.
COVID-19 has reshuffled the world map in aviation, and China became home to seven of the world's 10 busiest airport hubs in a pandemic year, with Chengdu, Shenzhen and Beijing taking third, fifth and sixth spots, respectively.
