The White House has reached an agreement in principle with the nation’s largest passenger airlines over the terms of a $25 billion rescue package, that would provide financial relief to the industry amid the CCP virus pandemic.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Tuesday that 10 U.S. airlines—including Delta, American, United, and Southwest—said they planned to accept the government aid that would allow them to pay employees and avoid massive layoffs.
