Raleigh-Durham International Airport served more than 1.2 million passengers in November, marking a 2% increase compared with November 2023, according to a news release.
This growth comes during a busy holiday travel season and puts RDU on track for a record-breaking year in terms of passenger numbers.
In response to the holiday season’s surge in passenger traffic, the airport says it is collaborating with its partner agencies and airlines to manage wait times at TSA-controlled security checkpoints. RDU has reassigned three airlines to Terminal 1 and expanded the Terminal 2 security checkpoint twice since 2019, resulting in a 40% capacity increase.
