* Figures for other European countries than EU countries, Switzerland, Croatia, Iceland and Norway are not available. Based on airport statistics, no other country in Europe than EU countries, Norway, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey can have domestic routes with more than 1 million passengers. Based on aircraft movements statistics, Istanbul/Atatürk - Izmir/Adnan Menderes is in 2012 even busier than Barcelona/El Prat - Madrid/Barajas route and Istanbul/Atatürk - Antalya route is busier than Toulouse/Blagnac - Paris/Orly route.[4] St-Petersburg-Moscow is a also a candidate for the list considering that Pulkovo Airport had 4,999,800 domestic passengers in 2012.[5]

**Madrid-Barcelona had 4,627,000 passengers in 2007, meaning a reduction by 34% in 2010, partly because of a new high-speed railway.
