Dubai, Rome, Charlotte and San Francisco airports grew the fastest in 2008

Dubai and Rome have the world's two fastest growing airports, while Charlotte, N.C., and San Francisco lead the U.S. airports.

How do we know this? Because Airports Council International has released its preliminary passenger traffic numbers for the 30 largest airports worldwide, and that's what the numbers show.

On the other end of the scale, Chicago O'Hare saw its numbers drop the most, followed in order by Bangkok, Thailand, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Dallas/Ft Worth.

We're talking about percentages in those numbers.

If you take the actual numbers, the fastest growers in order are Dubai, Rome, Beijing, Denver and Charlotte, N.C. The ones that saw their passenger numbers decline the most were, in order, Chicago O'Hare, Las Vegas, Dallas/Fort Worth, Bangkok and Los Angeles.
