A rise of 1.5 million recorded by U.S. airlines

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) registered a passenger rise of 1.5 million for the first time since March 2020. The air travel industry is again at its best-providing services from a pandemic-related drop.

The U.S airline witnessed a pandemic-related drop, due to Covid-19.
But with a growing number of Americans getting vaccinated, demand and advanced bookings have started to rise in recent weeks.

TSA said it screened 1.54 million people Sunday, the highest single day since March 13, 2020, and the 11th consecutive day screening volume exceeding 1 million per day.

Still, U.S. air travel demand was down Sunday about 30% versus pre-COVID 19 levels. International and business travel demand both remain weak.

The United States bars most non-U.S. citizens from traveling especially those who have been in Brazil, South Africa, China, and most of Europe. Many countries still restrict entry by Americans.
