Airlines say they will likely have to lay off thousands of workers if Congress can't pass a coronavirus economic relief package soon. Amtrak, bus lines and subways are suffering, too.

Individuals and businesses are slashing air travel. For example, about 624,000 people passed through airport security checkpoints Thursday, compared to 2.4 million people on the same day last year.

Airlines asked for a $50 billion federal bailout as air travel comes to a near halt. An industry group says the sudden drop is "having an unprecedented and debilitating impact on U.S. airlines."

The findings of the interim report were released a day before the anniversary of the crash of Nairobi-bound Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.

Companies are canceling employee travel, and airlines are slashing hundreds of flights amid fear of the spreading coronavirus. The slump is hitting the travel industry and related businesses hard.

New Boeing CEO David Calhoun met with his employees in Seattle and then held a conference call with reporters in an effort to bolster confidence in the troubled airplane manufacturer.

Boeing suggests it could fly about mid-2020. Industry sources note that the FAA and other regulators around the world could take months longer to find the planes safe to fly passengers.

The nation's largest export manufacturer is at a crossroads. As Boeing reels from its 737 Max crisis and welcomes a new CEO, decisions made now could decide its competitive future for decades.

Boeing's new CEO David Calhoun has served on the company's board of directors since 2009, leading some to worry he can't bring an outsider's perspective and shake things up.

A new CEO takes over at Boeing Monday following two deadly 737 Max crashes. David Calhoun will work to win regulators' approval to get those planes flying again, and try to regain the public's trust.

Documents released by Boeing related to the design of the 737 Max show disrespect and disdain for the FAA's role in certifying the troubled and now-grounded aircraft.

Employees bragged about getting approval for the jets without having to give pilots much new training. One employee says, "This airplane is designed by clowns who ... are supervised by monkeys."

Air travel is much safer today because of an increased reliance on automation. But experts say it's harder for pilots to take over when something goes wrong.

Production will stop in January. The jets were grounded after two crashes that killed nearly 350 people. Despite being grounded, Boeing continued cranking the planes out at its factory near Seattle.

The company said it is waiting for federal regulators to certify fixes for software blamed for two catastrophic plane crashes that killed 346 people.

Boeing may stop production of its troubled 737 Max jets now that the FAA has said it may be months before the plane is certified to fly again. That could mean job cuts at Boeing and beyond.

A day after hearing criticism from Congress that his agency is too cozy with the manufacturer, the FAA administrator warned Boeing's CEO not to expect quick recertification of the grounded planes.

Federal Aviation Administration administrator Stephen Dickson went before Congress on Wednesday to defend his agency's role in the wake of the Boeing 737 Max jet debacle.
