WASHINGTON -The U.S. Transportation Security Administration said it screened 2.56 million air passengers on Sunday, the highest number since December 2019 and the busiest day since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Between Nov. 18 and Sunday , airlines carried 22.2 million U.S. passengers compared with 23.5 million in the same period in 2019, down by about 5.5%. U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Monday on Twitter that "the system did well. Sunday's weather led to an elevated but not extreme level of delays & overall cancellation rates held below 1.0%."
U.S. airlines had planned to operate 13% fewer domestic flights during the eight-day Thanksgiving travel period compared with 2019, data by Cirium showed, but often with larger planes.
