Atlas Air, a cargo airline which includes Amazon as a major customer and investor, has seen business boom during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Now, with revenue and profits once again nearing record highs above pre-pandemic levels, Democratic Rep.

"We are not intending to return the funds," chief executive John Dietrich said, noting that it was not a need-based program."We responded accordingly and have been in full compliance, not only with the committee's request, but sharing the documents and so forth that they've asked for, and we'll continue to fully cooperate."
