Statement by Secretary Mnuchin on the Payroll Support Program
April 14, 2020

WASHINGTON – U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin issued the following statement on
the Payroll Support Program for passenger air carriers:
“We welcome the news that a number of major airlines intend to participate in the Payroll
Support Program. This is an important CARES Act program that will support American workers
and help preserve the strategic importance of the airline industry while allowing for appropriate
compensation to the taxpayers.
“Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian
Airlines, JetBlue Airways, United Airlines, SkyWest Airlines, and Southwest Airlines have told us
that they plan to participate in the Payroll Support Program. Conversations continue with other
airlines regarding their potential participation. Treasury is also working to review and approve
applications for smaller passenger air carriers as quickly as possible and will provide further
guidance for cargo carriers and contractors very soon. We look forward to working with the
airlines to finalize the necessary agreements and disburse funds as quickly as possible.”
