Florida’s Airports Garner $900M in Federal Assistance to Stay Afloat
The Federal Aviation Administration will distribute nearly $900 million in emergency assistance to 129 Florida airports struggling to pay salaries and bills with flight traffic down at least 75 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The FAA grants come from $10 billion in coronavirus relief for more than 3,000 airports nationwide authorized under the federal $2.2 trillion Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which also includes $50 billion to assist airlines.
