Projections suggest holiday travel will surge compared to 2020 even as the new coronavirus strain rapidly takes hold in the U.S.
The CEO of United Airlines said Monday the next two weeks will be the busiest the airline has seen since the pandemic began—with no drop-off on domestic travel due to the new omicron variant—as travel projections suggest holiday travel will surge compared to 2020 even as the new coronavirus strain rapidly takes hold in the U.S....
The CEO said the company has not experienced an uptick in cancellations on domestic flights due to the omicron variant and “demand has not dropped off.” He did say international travel has “dropped off pretty significantly” in light of new restrictions in response to the new strain., which was released December 14 and predicts 6.4 million people will travel by air between December 23 and January 2—a 184% increase over the same period in 2020, but down 12.6% from 2019.
