One-Hour Flight From Singapore Is World's Busiest Overseas Route
- Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route tops Asia-dominated rankings
- Busiest leg outside Asia is between New York and Toronto
A one-hour flight linking one of the smallest countries on the planet with its next-door neighbor is the world’s busiest international route.
Planes made 30,537 trips between Singapore and the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur in the 12 months to February, according to a report by OAG Aviation Worldwide Ltd. That’s the equivalent of 84 flights a day in a city state with a population of just 5.6 million.
