RDU sets August travel record; welcomes new flights and restaurants

More than 1.4 million travelers flew through Raleigh-Durham International Airport in August, setting a new record for the month.

In a news release, the RDU Airport Authority said that more than 4 million passengers traveled through RDU over the summer.

The airport also announced that Air Canada will double its nonstop service to Montreal, increasing flights from seven times a week to 14 times a week starting in May 2025.

RDU recently welcomed two new restaurants in Terminal 2. Crawford’s Genuine, located near Gate C1, is operated by five-time James Beard award-nominated local chef Scott Crawford and offers American cuisine with a North Carolina flair.

Carolina Craft, located near Gate C12, is a bar featuring local breweries and distillers. 

The airport says it expects to open ten more new restaurants in Terminals 1 and 2 next year.
