In Indiana and across the nation, airport and airline personnel are gearing up for the busy Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s travel season. At Indianapolis International Airport (IND), travelers can be thankful for a comfortable, convenient terminal with plenty of parking, holiday entertainment, and other amenities.

In general, what should the nation’s travelers expect this year? The Air Transport Association of America (ATA) reports the nation’s legacy carriers have slashed capacity with the deepest cuts since 1942 in response to the current economic climate.

Despite less-than-robust demand, planes will be full and passenger terminals in cities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, and Chicago will be congested.

ATA also reports a four percent year-over-year decrease in passenger traffic, despite deep discounting on domestic fares, especially for travelers who booked their flights early.
