Since the start of the pandemic, not as many people have traveled by plane in the United States as they did last weekend – the Transportation Safety Agency (TSA) reported on Monday.

The TSA said that the number of passengers opting for aviation reached 90 percent compared to the same period in 2019, when there was no coronavirus outbreak in America. On Sunday, 1.86 million passengers were checked in at U.S. airports, while on the same day in 2019, 2.1 million passengers traveled by plane. In 2020, this Sunday, when the pandemic plunged aviation into a major crisis, only 267,000 passengers were registered. (MTI)
