Moran Hails Passage Of Aviation Act

For Kansas this bill:
• Provides increased funding for Kansas community airports
• Increases the investment in air safety
• Establishes a program to help communities with high air fares attract additional air service

Under the aviation bill, primary airports will receive $1 million per year for safety and capacity concerns.  General aviation airports will qualify for funding up to $150,000 per year.  The Essential Air Service program will also receive $50 million in mandatory funding, with an additional $15 million in discretionary spending available through appropriated funding.    

“Kansas airports and passengers will benefit from the additional funding for airport improvements,” said Moran.  “Air transportation has made all of our lives more convenient.  This bill recognizes the importance of aviation and puts safety first by funding the necessary maintenance that air travel requires.”
