AirInsight US Airline Index

Air traffic in the United States is continuing to grow, and reached a new post-pandemic record of 2.2 million passengers yesterday.  On a monthly basis, average traffic levels in July are continuing the trend shown earlier in the year, as shown in the following chart through 18 July 2021.  Normal levels could be expected by the beginning of the 4th quarter if current trends continue, but the potential for capacity constraints may push full recovery into the fourth quarter.
