Airlines Brace for Record-Breaking Thanksgiving Travel Season Post-ShutdownThe U.S. airline industry is gearing up for a record-breaking Thanksgiving travel season following the end of the longest government shutdown in history. The shutdown caused significant disruptions, including flight delays and cancellations, affecting around six million travelers. However, with the shutdown over, airlines are optimistic about the upcoming holiday period, with United Airlines reporting a 16% increase in bookings and international bookings at a record high. Despite the positive outlook, budget airline Spirit Airlines has reduced its capacity and furloughed hundreds of pilots due to its second bankruptcy in less than a year.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
