Travel is definitely back, at least locally. The TSA has been publishing travel numbers through checkpoints since the start of the pandemic, which is an interesting thing to watch to see how travel is evolving. Yesterday set a noteworthy record.
On Friday, June 11, 2021, the TSA screened 2,028,961 passengers. For some context on why this is so important:
This is the first time since March 2020 that the TSA screens more than two million passengers in a single day; In October 2020, the TSA screened more than 1 million passengers in a single day for the first time since the start of the pandemic, and on this day in 2020, the TSA screened 519,304 passengers, which is a nearly 290% increase over last year. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screened 2,727,860 passengers, which is about 26% less than it was two years ago.
Obviously, there are still significant restrictions on international travel, given that many countries still have border restrictions. However, there is no denying that domestic flights are as busy as they used to be. If you pass through a hub like Charlotte or Dallas during the prime time, you’ll feel like you’re in “earlier times,” except for people wearing masks.
I’m curious when we see the 2.5 million passengers pass, and also when we see the first day that passenger numbers exceed 2019 levels.

The TSA screened more than two million travelers yesterday for the first time since March 2020. This comes at a time when we are witnessing a massive surge in summer travel, due to a widespread vaccination package, largely lifted travel restrictions, and school holidays starting in many places. .
Let’s see when the next major stage of passenger screening is reached.
Are you surprised that we’re already back to 2 million daily air travelers in the US?
