The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said Tuesday it had screened 2.785 million airline passengers on June 16, the highest number since before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The TSA said it had screened approximately 10.6 million people from Friday through Monday, the Juneteenth holiday, giving an average of 2.67 million people per day.

Airlines reported few cancellations over the holiday period and the TSA said last Friday was the fourth-highest single-day for screenings ever and the highest since November 2019.
