US airlines forecast Labor Day travel increase
US airlines expect the ongoing grounding of Boeing 737 Max aircraft will eliminate 326 average daily scheduled departures during the Q3 of 2019, but traffic during the Labor Day holiday is forecast to rise by 4% compared with the same period in 2018. A4A, in its travel report published Aug 20, forecasts US airlines to set a passenger travel record for a second year in a row, carrying an average of 2.51m people each day during the Labor Day holiday period, marking a 4% increase year-over-year. Low fares and high customer satisfaction are factors driving this expected increase, A4A chief economist John Heimlich said. Due to the worldwide grounding of 737 Max aircraft about 300 daily flights will be eliminated from the schedules of US carriers during the Labor Day travel period, he adds. <br/>
