On Aug 29, 2024

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has announced that more than 6.7 million travelers are expected to use its airports and vehicular crossings during the peak travel period from Thursday, Aug. 29, through Tuesday, Sept. 3. This would be a record for the Labor Day travel period.

The agency estimates that approximately 4.2 million vehicles will use its bridges and tunnels over the holiday period, consistent with volume from the same period in 2023.

The agency anticipates about 2.5 million passengers will travel through John F. Kennedy International, Newark Liberty International, LaGuardia and New York Stewart International airports during the six-day period. Thursday, Friday and Monday are expected to be the busiest days at the airports. This anticipated volume represents an increase of 3% from the previous high recorded for the travel period in 2023, and an 8% jump compared to the same period in pre-pandemic 2019.
