TSA chief says ‘entirely possible’ air travel will reach
a 1 million people a day over Labor Day weekend
Leslie Josephs

Labor Day weekend is likely to attract even more travelers
than in recent weeks, according to the head of the Transportation
Security Administration. It’s “entirely possible” that TSA screenings
will reach a daily total of 1 million, TSA Administrator David
Pekoske told CNBC’s “ Power Lunch.” On Sunday, the TSA
screened 862,949 people, the most since March 17.

That’s welcome news for airlines that have struggled to convince
many travelers to fly this summer — typically carriers’ busiest
season — as Covid-19 concerns, closures and related travel
restrictions keep many would-be customers away.

Travel demand has increased from more than five-decade lows
hit in April but still remains weak compared with last summer. A
million travelers in a single day is about 60% lower than the number
of people TSA screened a year ago.

Airlines could be even more challenged in September since travel
generally slows down when children go back to school.
