WASHINGTON/CHICAGO - A Senate Republican coronavirus stimulus package would provide financial aid to U.S. airports, transit systems and passenger railroad Amtrak, but $50 billion for struggling U.S. airlines would be a loan not a cash payout, according to a copy of the proposal seen by Reuters.
Amtrak has slashed service, while airports say they will lose at least $13.9 billion in 2020 and warn they could default on bond obligations. A spokeswoman for Airlines for America, a trade group representing major U.S. passenger and cargo carriers, said on Sunday that “direct financial assistance is needed immediately – other forms of liquidity are rapidly evaporating.”
