"On June 30th, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reached a new milestone by screening over 2.8 million passengers, the most ever in a single day. This, combined with the ongoing surge in flight numbers in the commercial and business aviation sectors worldwide, illustrates that the aviation industry's recovery is not only happening, but also maintaining its momentum."
