More than three million travellers pass through US security, a record
Agents checked 35 passengers per second as travel surged to a new high on Sunday, July 7. More than three million people passed through United States airport security on Sunday, the first time that number of passengers have been screened in a single day as travel surges, according to the US Transportation Security Administration. While most US airlines lost money in the first quarter — traditionally the weakest time of year for travel — they were all expecting a summer of full planes. Increasingly full planes since the pandemic shut travel down four years ago have brought one downside for airlines: complaints. That’s the highest number of complaints about airlines since 2020, when airlines were slow to give customers refunds after the pandemic shut down air travel.
