Republicans propose billions more in aid for airlines Leslie Josephs Two Republican Senators are proposing more than $28 billion in federal coroanvirus aid for the struggling airline industry, less than two weeks before some 30,000 jobs are set to be cut.

Susan Collins, chairman of the Appropriations subcommittee that oversees transportation introduced the legislation. Airlines are prohibited under the first round of aid, approved in March, from laying off workers until Oct. 1. In that time, airline losses have mounted and a strong rebound in air travel demand failed to materialize.
