The AAA is predicting that airports will be the busiest they’ve ever been over the holiday period. The airfare-tracking site Hopper says 24.5 million seats will depart from U.S airports from December 21st through December 27th, an 11% increase from capacity scheduled for Christmas last year.
Hopper is predicting that Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport will see the largest volume of holiday travelers, with nearly 1.5 million departing passengers over Christmas week. Denver and Dallas/Fort Worth airports will also see more than one million passengers depart during the busy holiday period.
Hartsfield-Jackson is predicted as the busiest, with an estimated passenger departure is 1,462,987 people. It is the primary international airport serving Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
ATL covers 4,700 acres (19 km2) of land and has five parallel runways. Since 1998, Hartsfield-Jackson has been the world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic. In 2022, the airport had over 93.6 million passengers, the most of any airport in the world.
Hartsfield–Jackson is the primary hub of Delta Air Lines. With just over 1,000 flights a day to 225 domestic and international destinations, the Delta hub is the world’s largest airline hub and is considered the first mega-hub in America.
The airport has international service within North America and to Latin America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and East Asia.
