US Air Travellers 2019-2023

Last year, I made a visualization of TSA checkpoint travel numbers from 2019 to 2022 April. We saw the air travel numbers have been bounced back greatly, and only slightly lower than pre-pandemic level. This week, I decided to revisit this data points, and downloaded the data from 2019 June til today to make a new visualization.

My Visualization

For the visualization this week, I used a circle to plot 7-days average travel numbers (clockwise from Jan to Dec), and each year with different colors to show how YoY compares easily.

Please notice that all the visualizations are designed for desktop view, so it is recommended to view them on a desktop device.
