The U.S. Congress members reached a bipartisan agreement on the $900 billion COVID-19 relief package on Sunday, which included much-needed relief aid for the airlines, after elongated negotiations.
What Happened: The latest tranche of the relief package includes $15 billion in aid for the airline industry as reimbursement to reinstate payrolls.
The $15 billion aid comes with similar restrictions as the previous aid that expired in October. Reportedly, airline carriers will attempt to bring workers back but the period without the aid has made it difficult, according to the Airlines for America trade group.
As many as 32,000 airline workers were furloughed after the last round of stimulus expired. As per an earlier report, many employees took a pay cut and expected the new relief bill to cover airline salaries through March 2021.

Outgoing President Donald Trump is pushing Congress to release a second round of coronavirus stimulus checks for Americans in the next relief package.
Trump, who is still fighting a losing battle in overturning the election results, told
Fox News‘ Brian Kilmeade he wants a second set of checks to be sent out. In typical Trump fashion, he blamed Democrats for the lack of a deal.
“Right now, I want to see checks – for more money than they’re talking about – going to people,” Trump told Kilmeade Sunday. “I’m pushing it very hard, and to be honest with you, if the Democrats really wanted to do the deal, they’d do the deal.”
