The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has predicted a busy upcoming period as Spring Break and the upcoming eclipse drive record traffic numbers.
Annual Spring Break holiday traffic is expected to peak on April 4 with an estimated 50,670 flights operating, followed by 48.904 flights the following day.
Additionally, the ‘Great North American Eclipse’ on April 8 will draw ‘a significant number of travellers heading to various states,’ notes the FAA, adding that those ‘flying along the eclipse path may encounter limited parking and potential delays at airports due to the high volume of aircraft and drones attempting to witness the total solar eclipse’.
