WASHINGTON/CHICAGO: Shares of major airlines fell on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump said his administration would abandon talks with congressional Democrats over proposals to spend at least US$1.6 trillion in additional coronavirus relief funds.

American Airlines and United Airlines last week began laying off 32,000 workers, but had said they would reverse course if lawmakers reach a deal. The U.S. Travel Association said"with millions of Americans suffering, it is woefully shortsighted to end relief negotiations" and added that"without immediate aid, 50per cent of all travel-supported jobs will be lost by December — an additional loss of 1.3 million jobs."Association of Flight Attendants-CWA International President Sara Nelson said"Trump issued one tweet to blow up the deal and leave millions of essential workers in freefall.

Industry experts expect a slight improvement in domestic demand over the winter holidays from current levels, but it will remain far below last year's volumes. Meanwhile, higher-margin business and international travel remain severely depressed.
