US airlines forecast busy summer travel
Summer travel on US airlines is expected to reach an all-time high this year, trade group Airlines for America said, adding to concern that passengers could face even longer waits at security checks. About 231m passengers will fly on US airlines between June and Aug, up 4% from the same period last year, the group said. That estimate amounts to an extra 95,500 passengers per day, on average. The group called on the US Transportation Security Administration to hire and train new staff to cut waiting times at airports. Security wait times have stretched to longer than two hours at some US airports this spring. US airlines have encouraged customers to signup in pre-screening known as TSA PreCheck to help expedite security checks. <br/>
