US airline passenger traffic fell last year to lowest number since 1984 - DOT
U.S. passenger airline traffic fell 60.1% in 2020 to the lowest number since 1984 as the COVID-19 pandemic devastated demand for air travel, the US DoT said on Tuesday. In total, there were 368m passengers in 2020, down from 922.6m in 2019. The previous yearly low was 351.6m in 1984, the department said. December air travel fell 62%, slightly more than the decline in November, the department said. For all of 2020, U.S. domestic air travel fell by 58.7%, while international travel fell 70.4% as many countries imposed significant travel restrictions. US airlines say air travel demand remains down more than 60% through early February.<br/>
