Rest of World Airport Connectivity Insights 5,068 Top 10 Arrivals Total Inbound Flights LTBA Network Hub Highest Traffic 51.95% Top Route Share DNAA → DNMM 6 Countries In Top 10 🇹🇷 Istanbul Vaults to ROW's Busiest LTBA (Istanbul, 758 arrivals) becomes ROW's most-arrived airport in May, its total movements surging +50.94% MoM to 1,529. Top origins LTAC (50, 6.60%), LTFE (40, 5.28%), and LGAV (36, 4.75%) span Turkey domestic, southern resorts, and Athens — underscoring Istanbul's East–West gateway role and the strongest single-airport rebound across ROW.

🇧🇷 Brazil Remains ROW's Largest Cluster Brazilian airports still hold 4 of ROW's Top 10 by arrivals — SBJH (592), SBSP (591), SBBH (495), and SBBR (483) — for 2,161 arrivals collectively. Intra-Brazil shuttles stay dense: SBSP⟷SBBH (149 combined), SBJH⟷SBBR (124), and SBSP⟷SBBR (82). Yet on total movements the cluster cooled in May, with SBJH -16.25% and SBBH -6.29% MoM; only SBSP edged up (+4.59%), leaving Sao Paulo the anchor of a flat-to-softer network.

🇳🇬 Lagos–Abuja: ROW's Tightest Corridor Nigeria's DNMM (Lagos, 485 arrivals) and DNAA (Abuja, 437) form ROW's most concentrated bilateral: DNAA draws 51.95% of its arrivals from DNMM and DNMM 41.24% from DNAA — a combined 427 flights between the pair. On total movements the two diverged in May, Lagos +7.54% but Abuja -21.14% MoM, partially unwinding the prior surge while keeping the shuttle dominant.

🌍 Gulf & Southeast Asia Step Up Three non-Brazil markets join ROW's Top 10: OERK (Riyadh, 432 arrivals), led by OEJN at 34.26% and up +62.85% MoM in total flights — ROW's fastest gainer; WSSL (Singapore, 416), fed by Jakarta's WIHH (14.42%) and Kuala Lumpur's WMSA (9.38%), +30.03% MoM; and SVMI (Caracas, 379), anchored by domestic SVCS (10.29%). Their entry broadens ROW beyond its Brazil–Nigeria core to six countries.
