Page "Washington Dulles International Airport" Paragraph 28

More international and low-cost airlines are commencing service at Washington Dulles, and traffic in 2010 is rebounding from the loss in passengers due to the late-2000s recession and the September 11, 2001 attacks.

In summer 2010 Washington Dulles served 49, 000 more passengers than for the same month of the previous year.

Nonetheless, even before the United States economic recession started, international passengers have continued to grow, which prompted the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority to expand the international arrivals building to handle 2, 400 passengers per hour.
