Airlines reported a significant decline in bookings in December amid a rise in COVID-19 cases sparked by the Omicron variant.

Last week, American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) said while ticket sales are still not back to pre-Omicron levels, they are recovering “quickly” after dropping off “considerably” in early December.

TSA screened 468,933 people on the same day in 2021 but 1.64 million on the day in January 2020.
