November 19, 2021 Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport: Travelers were abound on Friday, Nov.19,2021 at the domestic side of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport as the Airport is preparing for an expected 2.22 million passengers for the Thanksgiving travel period starting this Saturday and running through the Monday after the holiday, a rebound from last year when passenger counts were down 40% during the period. The holiday rush will be one of the biggest tests for airlines, which have struggled with staffing shortages and occasional operational meltdowns this year. “We expect it to be very busy and even a bit frenetic at times,” said Priceline CEO Brett Keller during a Washington Post Live event this week. With hotels and airlines trying to re-staff after pandemic cutbacks, “it’s going to be a bit crazy this year.” Wednesday before the holiday and the Sunday afterward are expected to be the busiest days of the Thanksgiving period, according to travel experts. AAA predicts 1.6 million people in Georgia will travel for Thanksgiving, including more than 108,000 taking flights. That will bring total traveler counts to a level just 3% shy of 2019 levels, with airline passenger counts within 13% of 2019 levels. Domestic leisure air travel has almost completely recovered to 2019 levels, according to AAA and travel experts. Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines expects to handle as many as 5.6 million passengers from this Friday through the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, nearly three times the 2.2 million it saw during the holiday period last year but still short of the 6.3 million for Thanksgiving 2019.
