Travel for 2020 was down more than 60% from the previous year to 324 million passengers, according to the TSA. The TSA screens passengers at 440 airports in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The reduction in travel has hit airlines hard. U.S. airlines lost more than $35 billion, combined, last year because of low passenger traffic. Airlines were forced to slash flights, block off seats, and implement safety measures in response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Airlines are hoping for a travel revival in the coming months with new Covid-19 cases dropping in much of the country and more people getting vaccinated. Thirteen percent of American adults have been fully vaccinated as of Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Passengers on Friday were still 20% lower than the number of passengers on the same day last year, and down nearly 38% from 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/13\/air-travel-tsa-records-highest-passenger-screenings-in-nearly-a-year.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TSA officers screened the highest number of passengers on a single day since March 15, 2020.
