(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said he will meet with executives in the aviation industry, including Boeing Co., over the weekend as they struggle with a dramatic revenue shortfall from the coronavirus pandemic.

“We’re going to be meeting with the airlines over the weekend. We have a great plan for the airlines -- got to keep the airlines going,” Trump said Friday during a White House news conference. “We can’t let anything happen to Boeing.”

The administration faces increasing pressure from lawmakers and the airline industry to move faster with payroll assistance. So far, U.S. airlines’ desperate bid for billions in government rescue cash is being frustrated by a lengthening process and demands that companies provide more detailed financial information.

“Boeing has not asked for aid yet but I think they probably will,” Trump said.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday that over the weekend he plans to provide airlines with preliminary details on how to access billions of dollars in loans and grants. Mnuchin said the government will not bail out the airlines but wants to make sure the companies have enough cash to keep their work force employed.

The more than $2 trillion federal stimulus includes payroll grants of $25 billion for passenger airlines, $4 billion for cargo haulers and $3 billion for airline contractors, plus another $29 billion in loans for passenger and cargo carriers and $10 billion in grants to airports.
