Covid-19: Over 1m people travel by plane in US in one day before Thanksgiving
WASHINGTON, Nov 24 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The turbulence caused by the coronavirus pandemic didn’t deter more than 1 million people in the United States from traveling aboard planes on a single day ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
A whopping 1,019,836 people went on US flights on Friday, data released by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) shows.
That’s the second-highest number of single-day travelers since mid-March, when the outbreak of COVID-19 began to cause shutdowns throughout the US and devastated the air-travel industry.
