U.S. Treasury wants major airlines to repay part of grants, give up warrants: sources

This post was originally published on this site

Mnuchin spoke with the chief executives of major airlines in separate calls on Friday and told them the department was offering 70% of the grants that would not need to be repaid, while airlines would be required to offer warrants and repay low-interest loans in exchange for the remaining 30%, the sources said.

Regional carriers receiving $100 million or less will not need to grant warrants to the government.

Treasury did not immediately comment.
