Yes, many airlines around the world received financial assistance from their respective governments to help them cope with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses. In the United States, for example, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act included provisions to provide financial aid to airlines and their employees. This aid included grants, loans, and loan guarantees, with the aim of helping airlines maintain payroll and benefits for their employees, as well as supporting other operational costs.
In other countries, similar measures were taken to support airlines and the broader aviation industry, such as in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. These financial measures were designed to help airlines survive the severe drop in demand for air travel caused by the pandemic, and to maintain jobs and keep critical infrastructure in place for when demand eventually returns to pre-pandemic levels.
