U.S. airports are the busiest since the pandemic began -- the strongest sign yet of a domestic travel revival that’s leading the way in jet fuel’s comeback this summer.
Passengers checking in through security at U.S. airports surged to 1.85 million on Sunday, the highest since early March 2020, according to Transportation Security Administration data. The flurry of travelers making their way through airport terminals has steadily climbed for the past month and is now only about 30% lower than levels the TSA saw at the same time in 2019. And we haven’t even reached the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend yet, the unofficial start of summer travel.
