One is the number of people screened by the Transportation Security Administration at airports. That number is about 96% lower than it was this time last year. Airlines for America, a major industry group, also reports a 96% drop in passengers. It said its US airline members have cut 71% of their capacity. Only about one in every 10 seats on the US domestic planes that do fly are occupied, according to the group. On the limited number of international flights that are operating, about one in five seats are occupied.
The numbers are similarly significant worldwide. At the beginning of the year, about 111,000 commercial flights were operated daily, according to Airlines for America. In the most recent week, it said there were only 31,000 flights.
