Over the recent holiday season, airlines — and San Antonio International Airport and other such U.S. facilities — took in more passengers than in any stretch since the pandemic began 10 months ago.
But the increase in travel isn’t expected to continue in the weeks ahead, and the temporary bump probably didn’t stem the airlines’ financial losses.
