President of the United States, Donald Trump, has an interesting idea when it comes to helping out airlines. In a news conference on April 24th, he floated an initiative where the US government buys four or five years of airline tickets in bulk as part of an incentive to help out airlines.
President Trump claims that the US government is the “biggest user” of US airlines. As a result, the government should negotiate with airlines to buy tickets valid for the next few years at a 50% (or more) discount.
