BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — It could be a sign of things to come.
U.S. air travel hit a new pandemic-era record on Friday.
The Transportation Security Administration says it screened more than 2.6 million people at airports nationwide.
That's a ten percent increase over the same day last year.
The record also sets the stage for what is expected to be a busy Memorial Day weekend travel period.
AAA predicts air travel will be 11 percent higher than the same weekend in 2019.
