Travel is making a comeback–just not by plane - Tech Republic
Data from Descartes Labs reveals mobility is greater than 80% of the pre-COVID baseline in most states.
Americans' appetite for travel is starting to return, although not surprisingly, they are taking road trips instead of getting on a plane. Mobility data from Descartes Labs' has found that in many states, residents have begun traveling at nearly the same rate they were traveling before COVID-19–just by car.
"The steep drop in air travel in late March matched the overall reduction in mobility we measured," said Mike Warren CTO and co-founder of Descartes Labs. "Since then, we've seen mobility recover to greater than 80% of the pre-COVID baseline in most states, but airport traffic is trending up more slowly."
