NEW YORK — Don’t expect much elbow room on flights this fall. Frontier Airlines sold 91 percent of its seats in July and August. Frontier and US Airways both had their best August for percentage of seats filled.
Overall, 86.4 percent of seats were filled by paying customers in July and August, according to an analysis of preliminary data reported by 16 major U.S. airlines. That edges last summer’s record of 86.3 percent. Analysts say there may be more space this fall, but not much, if the economy slows further.
