AMJP
20.114
The objectives of the AMJP program were to help businesses that are primarily engaged in aircraft manufacturing activities and services, or aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities and services, to retain or rehire employees. Financial assistance payments must be used to retain current employees or to recall employees who were previously laid off or furloughed. As part of the American Rescue Plan Act enacted on March 11, 2021, the AMJP program provided up to $3 billion for the aviation manufacturing and repair industry.
