March 20 (UPI) -- About 145 million travelers are expected to fly globally on U.S. airlines in the spring, a four percent increase over 2016, an airline trade association said Monday.
Airlines for America, a Washington-based industry trade association and lobbying group for major U.S. airlines, said it expected nearly 2.4 million people per day to fly on U.S. airlines between March 1 and April 30. Airlines are adding 110,000 seats per day to accommodate the gain of about 89,000 additional passengers per day, the association said.
