Senator Jerry Moran
(KAIR)--Two local airports are among others in Kansas receiving federal financial support due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a news release issued by United States Senator Jerry Moran, Atchison’s Amelia Earhart Airport has been approved to receive $30,000, while the Sabetha Municipal Airport will receive $20,000.
The funds are allocated through $53 million in grant funds from the Federal Aviation Administration through the Phase III Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.
The Kansas Republican, in the release, said that “while reducing air travel is important to stop the spread of the virus, it has caused significant losses to [Kansas] airports,” which Moran said “play an important role in the commerce and travel” of Kansas, regardless of airport size.
