Treasury to Provide Small Airlines Aid Without Taking Financial Stake
(From The Wall Street journal)
The government won’t take a stake in small airlines seeking federal aid as part of a $2.2 trillion economic-stimulus package passed amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Treasury Department said Friday.
The department said airlines requesting less than $100 million in payroll-assistance grants won’t be required to provide financial stakes in exchange for the aid “as a result of benefits to the public,” including requirements that the companies maintain needed air service and refrain from involuntary furloughs or layoffs.
