Fact Book, ZOB was numero uno in CYs 1997 through 2003. It's updated
quarterly,
the latest is November 2004 so it doesn't have data for CY 2004."

The latest official data in your own source plainly states that ZTL
handled
1,836,000 aircraft between January and July of 2004. During that same
time
period, ZOB handled 1,787,000 aircraft. Pretty simple math...


So the title of "world's busiest ATC facility" goes to the facility that
handles the most traffic in the early months of the year? Why is that? I
see that ZTL also handled more traffic than ZOB between January and March of
2003, but ZOB handled more during the full calendar year.
