Airport Expecting Busiest Day
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Holiday stragglers and business travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport found lengthening security lines today at the beginning of what was expected to be the airport’s busiest day of the year.
An estimated 292,584 passengers were expected to pass through the airport today.
Early travelers found wait times of 30 to 40 minutes at the main security checkpoint, as well as at the “T-Gate” security line at 8 a.m., according to the airport’s website, www.atlanta-airport.com.
By 9:30 a.m., the wait times were only 15 to 20 minutes at each checkpoint.
That compared with average wait times of 15 minutes or less on Sunday.
The only significant flight delays reported by the Federal Aviation Administration early Monday were on flights bound for Philadelphia. Those flights were not allowed to take off until 7:30 a.m. Monday because of incliment weather in the Northeast.
