The Barrow County Airport said it saw a record number of aircraft over the weekend.
In total, the airport reported 73 aircraft landings, including 53 jets, 14 turboprops, and six piston-engine planes.
Eight of those jets were classified as large aircraft, according to the airport manager, who noted the airport typically averages only four large planes a year.
Among those flying out of the airport was Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. The airport didn’t say where Kemp was flying.
The Athens Ben Epps airport said it had hundreds of flights over the weekend. Due to large aircraft, it could only hold 140 planes at one time, so it diverted flights to Barrow, Gwinnett and Rockdale Counties.
