The Wednesday before Thanksgiving is usually a very busy day at the nation’s airports, and traditionally, the second busiest travel day of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The Air Transport Association forecasted a 10 percent drop in air travel for this year's Thanksgiving holiday.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reported that according to information collected from U.S. airports, Wednesday's travel forecast proved correct. The number of passengers going through TSA security checkpoints decreased 16 percent nationwide - and 14 percent at the nation’s 40 busiest airports - compared to last year.
Of the top 40 U.S. airports, the biggest decreases in passenger volume on Wednesday were at Honolulu International Airport (35 percent); John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA (32 percent); Tampa International Airport (27 percent) and Newark International Airport (22 percent). Airports with the smallest drop in passenger volume were San Francisco International Airport (5 percent), Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (5 percent), Boston Logan International Airport (6 percent), Denver International Airport (9 percent) and Indianapolis International Airport (8 percent).
