Abstract

According to a forecast by the American Automobile Association (AAA), a record 7.5 million people are expected to fly in the United States from December 23 to January 1, making it the busiest year-end travel season since 2000. This surpasses the pre-Covid record of 7.3 million in 2019. Despite the increase in air travel, there may not be a corresponding surge in jet fuel consumption due to the use of larger and more efficient airplanes. Additionally, road travel is also expected to rise, with approximately 104 million drivers hitting the road during the holiday period. Overall, there are projected to be 115 million travelers, the second highest ever. [Extracted from the article]
