Boehm said 89% of travelers are driving due to significantly lower fuel costs. “Gas prices are at $2.85 a gallon on average,” which he noted was down from “$3 or $4 a year ago.”\nAAA expects intense activity on the nation's roads, with approximately 109 million people traveling by car and the organization anticipates that it will “rescue over 860,000 people on the side of the road” during the holiday period.\nBoehm also noted during the segment that air travel, too, was hitting fresh records, with the industry seeing never-before-seen levels of footfalls during the course of this season, without actually mentioning the specific figures. \nAmericans chose to drive this holiday season amid a steep reduction in average gas prices across the country, while air travel got considerably more expensive during the same period. \nAccording to AAA's own report earlier this month, airfares are up 7% year-over-year, averaging nearly $900, prompting many travelers to opt for road trips instead.\nThe TSA reported that the heaviest traveler volume will be about 2.86 million on Sunday, slightly ahead of the busiest day last year at 2.85 million.\nThis led major aviation stocks such as American Airlines Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAL), Southwest Airlines Company (NASDAQ:LUV), United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) and Delta Air Lines, Inc. (NASDAQ:DAL), to move marginally higher on Christmas Eve.\nThe US Global Jets ETF (NYSE:JETS), which tracks most American airliners, is up 8.68% this month. The fund scores high on Momentum in Benzinga’s Edge Stock Rankings, with a favorable price trend in the short, medium and long terms.
