Air travel in the US has broadly recovered from the depths of the pandemic, but passenger counts from the busy Thanksgiving period show it still has a way to go before returning to 2019’s record levels.
Almost 24.6 million people went through Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening from November 18 through November 28, according to agency data, down 5.7% from the same period three years ago. While the Sunday after Thanksgiving was the busiest day since Covid-19 began ravaging the industry, it was 11.2% below that day in 2019, which was the biggest day ever for air travel in the US.
Major carriers United Airlines Holdings Inc, Delta Air Lines Inc and American Airlines Group Inc said they had relatively smooth operations during the holidays, with only a handful of cancellations.
