Reports of the death of business travel are greatly exaggerated, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby told us during a POLITICO Live event today

Reports of the death of business travel are greatly exaggerated, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby said on Wednesday.. “I think it may take a year or two until you get back, but we’re firmly in the camp that believes business demand is going to come back.

Kirby said he was “cautiously optimistic” the industry would be included in a future relief package, which federal lawmakers remain far apart on and with no deal is in sight as the November election looms. Pilot, flight attendant and other unions in the sector have been urging Congress to allocate more than $30 billion in payroll assistance and extend a prohibition on involuntary furloughs — set to expire at the end of the month — through March 31.
