US Airports Hit Record with 2.95 Million Passengers in One Day

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screened a record 2.95 million airline passengers in a single day, coinciding with the Memorial Day weekend and marking the start of the summer travel season. Major U.S. airlines are forecasting record summer travel, with a significant increase in flights and passengers. However, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is facing challenges due to a shortage of air traffic controllers, leading to extended cuts in flight requirements at congested airports.
