WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. officials screened 8.76 million air travelers over the four-day Labor Day weekend marking the first time holiday weekend screening volume exceeds 2019 pre-pandemic levels.
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said Tuesday the four-day period topped the 8.24 million passengers screened over Labor Day weekend 2019, which traditionally marks the end of the busy U.S. summer travel season. A space launch in Florida that could have impacted air travel over the weekend was scrubbed.
