Raleigh-Durham International Airport keeps breaking traffic records.
Memorial Day, Mother’s Day and college graduations contributed to a steady increase in passenger traffic in May, which set a new record for monthly traffic.
More than 1.4 million people flew through the airport in May, a 10.5% increase from April.
The surge in traffic was higher than expected, with a 9.7% increase over Memorial Day weekend compared with the same weekend last year.
As The 10th Street Journal previously reported, the airport set a single-day record after Mother’s Day and graduation weekend, with nearly 59,000 travelers passing through the terminals.
