SAVE - Airline stocks higher after U.S. passenger count tops 1M for first time since March

It is an active day of developments in the airline sector with U.S. air passenger traffic topping 1M again even as COVID-19 headlines create some anxiety on booking trends. The TSA reported travel throughput for Sunday of 1,031,505 passengers vs. 2,606,266 for the comparable day a year ago. It was the first time since March 16 since the 1M mark was topped. Of course, the stimulus wildcard is never far from the discussion on airline stocks. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are set to hold a call this afternoon on a fiscal-stimulus package, which will come just one day before Pelosi's deadline for a pre-election package expires. Sector check: Hawaiian Holdings ([[HA]] +6.8%), United Airline ([[UAL]] +6.6%), Spirit Airlines ([[SAVE]] +3.8%), JetBlue ([[JBLU]] +3.4%), Alaska Airlines ([[AAL]] +2.5%), SkyWest ([[SKYW]] +3.2%), American Airlines Group ([[AAL]] +2.5%), Southwest Airlines ([[LUV]] +2.4%), Mesa Air ([[MESA]] +2.3%) and Delta Air
