More expected to travel this Memorial Day

DFW Airport officials expect this Memorial Day weekend to be the busiest in four years.

More than 1 million travelers are expected to pass through the airport between Friday and Tuesday.

The travel industry took a major hit during the pandemic.

But by the summer’s end, officials predict more than 22 million people will fly in or out of the airport.

That would be a 7 percent increase from summer travel in 2019.
