Major U.S. airlines are pressing U.S. lawmakers for a six-month extension of the $32 billion U.S. payroll support program for airlines, airports and contractors set to expire in September, warning that some flights may disappear otherwise and more jobs are at risk.
Southwest Airlines Chief Executive Gary Kelly said in a video message to employees the company backs the effort.
Kelly also wants lawmakers to extend a ticket tax holiday and pass other tax breaks that give Americans incentives to travel “because without customers and places and events for them to fly to — we’ll never punch our way out of this crisis.” On Friday, American Airlines subsidiary PSA warned that based on American’s October schedule, it may need to furlough another 230 pilots and flight attendants on top of the 1,000 potential furloughs announced this month.
