Thanksgiving U.S. Air Travel is Expected to Skyrocket to an ‘All-Time High’! This Year 31 million+ passengers are anticipated to fly on U.S. carriers over the entire Thanksgiving holiday period – an increase of 7% YOY and 11% over 2019. An average of 2.8 million passengers are expected daily - a 5% increase from last year. To meet the surge, carriers are adding 150,000 more seats per day compared to last year's Thanksgiving holiday period. It’s expected that the busiest days for air travel will be the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and Sunday, Dec. 1, each with over 3 million flyers per day projected. And that's just the start of the Holday Travel Season! Check out the chart below for what's anticipated for the rest of 2024.

What the two main reasons why Airlines are not doing so well inspite of booming demand this summer. Fuel is not so cheap anymore and Corporate travel has not caught up with the pre-pandemic levels. That is where the bulk of the profits come for US based carriers. PROS "Corporate Sales" offers ways for the Airlines to maximize their revenue for Corporate contracts.

New York La Guardia (LGA) to Chicago O’Hare (ORD) moves into the top 10 this year at #7.
