<P> These are lists of the busiest airports in the United States, based on various ranking criteria . </P> <P> The FAA uses passenger boarding for a full calendar year to determine Airport Improvement Program (AIP) entitlements . The term hub is used by the FAA to identify very busy commercial service airports . For instance, large hubs are those airports that each account for at least one percent of total U.S. passenger enplanements . Medium hubs are defined as airports that each account for between 0.25 percent and one percent of the total passenger enplanements . These airports are not 100% accurate . </P> <P> In Calendar year 2014 (preliminary FAA data) there were 30 Large Hubs and 30 Medium Hubs . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Rank (2016) </Th> <Th> Airports (large hubs) </Th> <Th> IATA Code </Th> <Th> Major city served </Th> <Th> State </Th> <Th> 2016 </Th> <Th> 2015 </Th> <Th> 2014 </Th> <Th> 2013 </Th> <Th> 2012 </Th> <Th> 2011 </Th> <Th> </Th> <Th> 2009 </Th> <Th> 2008 </Th> <Th> 2007 </Th> <Th> 2006 </Th> <Th> 2005 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Hartsfield--Jackson Atlanta International Airport </Td> <Td> ATL </Td> <Td> Atlanta </Td> <Td> GA </Td> <Td> 50,476,272 </Td> <Td> 49,340,732 </Td> <Td> 46,604,273 </Td> <Td> 45,308,407 </Td> <Td> 45,798,809 </Td> <Td> 44,414,121 </Td> <Td> 43,130,585 </Td> <Td> 42,280,868 </Td> <Td> 43,236,665 </Td> <Td> 43,236,665 </Td> <Td> 41,352,038 </Td> <Td> 42,402,653 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Los Angeles International Airport </Td> <Td> LAX </Td> <Td> Los Angeles </Td> <Td> CA </Td> <Td> 39,635,691 </Td> <Td> 36,351,226 </Td> <Td> 34,314,197 </Td> <Td> 32,425,892 </Td> <Td> 31,326,268 </Td> <Td> 30,528,737 </Td> <Td> 28,857,755 </Td> <Td> 27,439,897 </Td> <Td> 28,861,477 </Td> <Td> 30,113,985 </Td> <Td> 29,357,327 </Td> <Td> 29,372,272 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> O'Hare International Airport </Td> <Td> ORD </Td> <Td> Chicago </Td> <Td> IL </Td> <Td> 37,499,201 </Td> <Td> 36,305,668 </Td> <Td> 33,686,811 </Td> <Td> 32,317,835 </Td> <Td> 32,171,743 </Td> <Td> 31,892,301 </Td> <Td> 32,171,831 </Td> <Td> 31,135,732 </Td> <Td> 33,683,991 </Td> <Td> 36,521,585 </Td> <Td> 36,825,097 </Td> <Td> 36,720,005 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport </Td> <Td> DFW </Td> <Td> Dallas / Fort Worth </Td> <Td> TX </Td> <Td> 31,274,875 </Td> <Td> 31,589,832 </Td> <Td> 30,766,940 </Td> <Td> 29,038,128 </Td> <Td> 28,022,877 </Td> <Td> 27,518,358 </Td> <Td> 27,100,656 </Td> <Td> 26,663,984 </Td> <Td> 27,219,985 </Td> <Td> 28,482,417 </Td> <Td> 28,627,749 </Td> <Td> 28,079,147 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 5 </Td> <Td> John F.
