Air travel has been a major casualty of the coronavirus pandemic. The decline in passengers has cost billions — an unprecedented decline and a blow to the American and global economies.

As Congress mulls granting U.S. airlines an extension in payroll assistance in the CARES Act, join POLITICO on
Wednesday, Sep. 16, at 2 PM ET / 1 PM CT for a deep-dive conversation about the future of air travel and what it will take to get Americans back into the skies.
 
The virtual program will feature an executive conversation between POLITICO CEO Patrick Steel and United CEO Scott Kirby.
