During the month, U.S.-based travel agency air ticket sales totaled a whopping $9.8 billion, according to new data from Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC).
The total represents a 19% jump compared to August 2025 and a 2% month-over-month increase compared to July 2026.
“August’s totals set a new record for ARC-reported and settled sales, reflecting the continued strength of the U.S travel market and continued demand,” said Steve Solomon, ARC’s chief commercial officer.
