Airport spokeswoman Stphanie Lepage said that estimate includes arrivals and departures for Canadian, American and international destinations.

Travel is always busy around the holiday season, but just before New Year's Eve the airport sees a significant bump in traffic, said Lepage.

She believes more people will passthrough than they did on Dec. 22, 23and 24.

Winter storm still underway

The weather could also hamper travel on one of the busiest days of the year.

On Thursday, many flights to and from Montreal's Trudeau airport were delayed or cancelled because of a large snow storm that swept over a wide swath ofQuebec, the Atlantic provinces and the northeastern United States.

Montreal was spared the worst, but the storm is still making its way east. Travellers should checkonlineto see if their flights are on time.

No delays at customs expected

The good news is that while many passengerscomplained of long lines at the airport's customs during the summer, that shouldn't be an issue on Friday, according to Lepage.

Many flights were arriving from Europe at the same time during the summer, which led to delays, she said.

In the winter, most people are coming back from sunny destinations, which tend to arrive at different hours of the day.
