A passenger movement is not the same as a passenger. Every domestic passenger is counted twice — once departing, once arriving — while an international passenger is counted once. That is the official definition, and it is why these totals cannot be added to the route figures elsewhere on this site.

National rank is calculated independently for each year using standard competition ranking. Equal passenger totals share a rank; the denominator is the count of airports with a valid value in that year. No missing value is interpolated or treated as zero, and the data alone does not identify reasons for traffic changes.
