Memorial Day Travel Boasts Record TSA Screenings

JET FUEL

Nearly 3 million airline travelers passed through security checkpoints at airports across the U.S. on Friday - a new record for the highest number of passengers screened in a single day according to TSA.

  • It surpasses the post covid travel rebound on the Sunday of Thanksgiving last year when just over 2.9 million passengers were screened.
  • TSA said they were expecting an 11.5% increase y/y.
  • Jet fuel growth demand may upstage gasoline as a key pocket of strength this summer but fuller flights and more efficient planes and operations will limit jet fuel demand increases.
  • Jet fuel demand has surged to the highest since 2019 for this time of year on a four-week-average basis, according to US government data.
