American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said President Donald Trump called him Monday night to offer condolences for the crew members, passengers and their loved ones.

Isom said in a letter to American Airlines employees on Tuesday that Trump "asked me to relay to all of you his personal appreciation for the work you are doing to support the families and his concern for the well-being of our entire team."

"President Trump also made clear that aviation safety is a priority for his Administration," he said. "We look forward to working with him on behalf of all our customers and team members in the name of safety."

The airline will observe a moment of silence Wednesday, marking one week since the crash.

Bob and Lori Schrock -- farmers from the small town of Kiowa, Kansas -- died last week in the midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, family friends confirmed to ABC News.

The founders of Premium Grain, Inc., the couple pioneered a method of rotating winter wheat with canola to improve the health of farmland.

"The goal on the farm is to produce crops that can tell a story, where they came from and what makes the journey unique," a quote from Bob Schrock on the company’s website reads.

They were traveling to Pennsylvania to visit their daughter in college, multiple local outlets reported.

A memorial and funeral for the couple is scheduled for this weekend.
