Hartsfield Airport Expects 1.3 million

The nation's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson International, is expecting 1.3 million people to pass through its door's this Labor Day weekend. That is an estimated six percent increase in traffic from last year’s Labor Day holiday.

The Transportation Security Administration has sent extra workers; every security lane in the airport is open.

Airport official, Herschel Grangent, told GPB news that the goal is for travelers to have to wait no more than 30-minutes in line, even during peak hours.

"That’s the goal: to keep everybody happy, keep everybody moving and getting to their planes on time," Grangent said.

Almost 250,000 people are expected at the airport per day. The heaviest travel is expected to be on Friday.
