The US Transportation Security Administration said it screened 1.28 million passengers on Sunday at US airports, the highest number since mid-March, when the coronavirus pandemic slashed travel demand.
The number of US air travelers is still about 50% lower than the same date last year, but Sunday was the sixth day in the last 10 that volume surpassed 1 million. The rise comes despite public health officials urging Americans to avoid holiday travel this year.
