Anyone traveling from Cape Town to Johannesburg, especially on the “business run” on a Monday morning, knows that it’s a heck of a busy route. Exactly how busy, though? The Economist crunched the numbers and it turns out it’s one of the world’s busiest, outranking anything in the USA.

Cape Town to Johannesburg is the busiest air route in Africa, and ranks at number nine in the World. Travel software Amadeus, which is largely responsible for most of the back-end ticket calculations, puts the amount of traffic on the route at around 4,5million people in 2011. The actual number is around half that, as the calculation is based on one direction only. Still, that’s a lot of movement.

The route remains ranked at number one for cost and discomfort.
