When pilots think of busy airports they're generally thinking in terms of
aircraft movements, not passengers enplaned.

Not in the top 30. JFK handles mostly international traffic. More passengers but
bigger planes and fewer operations. Both LaGuardia and Newark are busier.

JFK comes in at number 32 among the busiest US airports, between PIT and
ORL.
