In response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Airlines for America (A4A) has launched a new webpage to serve as a resource for air travelers, government agencies, Congress and the general public.
When visiting AirlinesTakeAction.com, travelers have access to details from airlines in the United States regarding how they're working to contain the viral infection and protect passengers and employees.
The website also provides tips and advice for travelers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"The safety, health and wellbeing of travelers are always the top priorities of U.S. carriers," A4A Senior Vice President Rebecca Spicer said in a statement. "That's why airlines are working collaboratively with the Administration, CDC, HHS, DOT, DHS and other federal agencies to identify and implement pragmatic effective solutions during this public health crisis."
A4A's new website also includes news from U.S. President Donald Trump's Task Force, including clips from White House briefings, as well as updates from mayors across the country to remind travelers their cities are open for business.
The organization said the website will be "updated regularly with new information to ensure that the latest updates are available to help all constituencies make informed decisions."
On Thursday, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) revealed airlines could lose as much as $113 billion in revenue as a result of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.
