Highest airport traffic by state

Passengers boarding at the nearest airline airport.

This measure has no better end. The order describes the states, it does not rank them — see the other direction.

Annual passenger boardings at the airport counted above. Distance alone does not distinguish a field with two flights a day from a hub — this does. It describes the airport, not the county, so neighbouring counties served by the same airport share a figure.
