5 more airlines reach terms for billions in federal loans
Leslie Josephs

Five more U.S. airlines — Delta, United, JetBlue, Southwest
and Alaska — have reached agreements with the Treasury
Department over the terms for billions in federal loansaimed
at helping them weather the impact of the coronavirus. The
terms, which weren’t disclosed, require borrowers to com-
pensate taxpayers with instruments including warrants, stock
or senior debt, the Treasury Department said.

Five other airlines, including American, already reached
agreements, the Treasury Department said last week.

The $2.2 trillion CARES Act set aside $25 billion in loans for
U.S. passenger airlines. It isn’t guaranteed that airlines will
tap the loans. Carriers also received $25 billion in payroll
support that requires them to keep employees paid through
Sept. 30, but Delta and United have begun warning employ-
ees that government-mandated advance notice of potential
furloughs could come this month for thousands of staff members.

Airlines are trying to exhaust voluntary measures like buyouts
and early retirements before turning to involuntary cuts.
