Crowds have returned to normal summer levels after a record-breaking 111,000 travelers were screened at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Thursday. It’s estimated nearly 2.4 million people moved through the airport over the weekend despite delays from storms across the country.
Airport spokesman Andrew Gobeil says travel continues to be on track to reach pre-pandemic levels.
“Remember, we broke a record back in 2019, pre-COVID, when we served 110 million passengers,” said Gobeil. “We’re getting close to that figure again, and there is a chance there is a chance that we could approach that number this year.”
Gobeil says he expects airport traffic will remain high through the Labor Day weekend before going down in the fall.
