WASHINGTON -- The CEO of Southwest Airlines, one of the largest US air companies, insisted Sunday that travelers could again fly in safety and added that air traffic, nearly paralyzed by the coronavir

us pandemic, was gradually reviving.

He said his airline was taking a number of safety precautions: passengers and crew members will be required to wear masks; planes will receive deep cleaning between flights; and some seats will be left empty to allow a degree of social distancing. "You look at the layered approach that we use, it's as safe as any environment you're going to find.""I think we've seen the bottom here," he said.

He said the government's relief plan had given the markets sufficient confidence that his company was able to raise an additional $6 billion last week."We have until September to make that decision" on additional government aid.But the Southwest chief said that unless the recovery starts to kick in by July, the company might have to order a first round of layoffs.
