Which European airports will be the busiest on Easter?

London Gatwick Airport took the first place and became the most stressful airport for passengers worldwide. Dionne Plana, Global Travel Trends Analyst at VisaGuide, explained that the small size of Gatwick Airport compared to the large number of passengers leads to crowding and often causes flight delays, making it the most stressful airport in the world.

"Although three other airports on the list have higher traveler densities, Gatwick is ranked first because of its very high delay rates and the fact that it is the airport farthest from the city center," the analyst emphasized.

At the same time, the largest airport in the UK, London Heathrow Airport, took fourth place in the ranking.
