   The total includes 73.1 million domestic and 11.3 million international 
passengers traveling on U.S. airline flights throughout the month.

   The agency noted that seasonally adjusted enplanements fell 0.3% from 
February and remained 1.9% below the all-time high reached in June 2024.

high, domestic and international boardings both neared their respective 
historical records for the month.
