With as many as 17 million passengers anticipated from Thursday through the following Wednesday, the Transportation Security Administration is on alert for potential labor day flight cancellations. The agency forecasts that Friday alone could see a staggering 2.86 million passengers, marking it as the busiest air travel day of the holiday.

The surge in travelers is indicative of a busy summer, with all ten of the busiest days occurring earlier in 2024. Recent statistics reveal that nearly 240 million passengers have been screened since Memorial Day, averaging 2.7 million daily.
