There’s still more evidence of a travel rebound today.
U.S. Transportation Security Administration stats for Wednesday, the day before American Thanksgiving, show that 2,311,979 travellers went through security at U.S. airports. That’s more than double the roughly 1.1 million figure from last year, and nearly 90% of the roughly 2.62 million in 2019.
It’s also the largest TSA passenger figure since the start of the pandemic.
On Tuesday, two days prior to Thanksgiving Day, TSA processed 2,207,949 passengers. That’s close to the 2,435,170 people who went through security in 2019.
Tuesday and Wednesday of Thanksgiving week are usually the busiest days of the season in the U.S. Sunday after Thanksgiving Day also is very busy.
