Scranton, PA - Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement to announce that 63 Pennsylvania airports will receive a combined total of more than $239 million in new funding from the Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a result of the CARES Act, the latest coronavirus relief legislation:
“Pennsylvania’s airports provide an essential service to travelers and stimulate our local economies. With a steep decline in travel and revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our airports need help to continue operations and save employees’ jobs. I was proud to advocate for our Commonwealth’s airports to receive funding from the CARES Act and I am pleased that the FAA plans to implement a streamlined grant process to expedite this funding for critical airport needs. I will continue to work to ensure that our workers and our airports receive the resources they need to manage through this pandemic.”
The following Pennsylvania airports will receive FAA grants from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act:
