“The busy summer travel season is upon us at LAX, and we expect passenger volumes to reach the highest levels we have seen so far this year,” said the CEO of Los Angeles World Airports.
“The busy summer travel season is upon us at LAX, and we expect passenger volumes to reach the highest levels we have seen so far this year with an average of 228,000 daily passengers in the days before and after the Independence Day holiday,” Justin Erbacci, CEO of Los Angeles World Airports, said in a statement.
LAX officials define the Fourth of July travel period as Wednesday through July 10. The busiest days of that period are expected to be Thursday, when about 241,000 passengers are expected to pass through the airport; Friday, with about 245,000 passengers expected; and Monday, July 10, when about 251,000 passengers are anticipated.
The travel crunch comes during a week when severe weather in other parts of the country have been prompting flight delays and cancellations. Those issues were continuing Wednesday, with 28 cancellations of flights in or out of LAX reported by midday, according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware. More than 180 flight delays affecting the airport were also reported.
According to the Auto Club, roughly 2.7 million Southern Californians are expected to travel by automobile over the holiday, with 517,000 traveling by air and 253,000 relying on some other means, such as bus, train or cruise.With the Fourth of July holiday falling on a Tuesday, the Auto Club defined the holiday travel period as beginning Friday and ending on July 4.
