Manhattan Regional Airport is receiving over $2 million in grants from the Federal Aviation Administration, according to U.S. Senator Jerry Moran.
The grants are part of a $53 million relief package being given to Kansas airports as part of Phase lll of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
“We’re grateful for the support of getting much needed relief to airports as we struggle with declining enplanements and revenues,” Jesse Romo, the Manhattan Regional Airport Director, said.
According to Romo, it is yet to be determined how the funds will be used.
Manhattan Regional Airport is receiving the fourth most in CARES Act grants among Kansas airports.
Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport is receiving the third most at a little over $11 million and Topeka Regional Airport is receiving the second most at about $17 million.
Garden City Regional Airport will receive the most funding from the relief package at about $18 million.
