DALLAS — July was the second-busiest month in the history of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport as 6.9 million passengers traveled through the airport during the peak of the summer vacation season.
Those passengers bound for cruises, family reunions, business trips and post-pandemic getaways took nearly 90% of all seats available on incoming and outgoing flights at DFW during the month.
Perhaps crowds would have been bigger if the return of travel hadn’t suddenly stalled this summer when airlines cut back to get a handle on a crippling shortage of pilots along with high delay and cancellation rates, partially caused by that pilot shortfall.
