body
BACKGROUND
As part of the FAA AIP, all large and medium hub airports (Dallas Love Field is considered a medium hub) are apportioned grant monies based on a variety of formulas including but not limited passenger enplanements, National Plan of Integrated Airport System categories, airport revenues and the Airport Improvement Plan.
The FAA anticipates additional discretionary/recovery grant funds to likely be made available later this year. These additional grant funds may become available through the Fall of 2021.
Approval of this action to accept the AIP and Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security grants, enables the Department of Aviation to react quickly and make program and project recovery decisions.
