    • Keep airports in reliable, safe operation to serve the aviation industry, the travelling public, and support the economy
    • Keep airport and aviation workers employed
    • Keep airport credit ratings stable

    The FAA will award funds on expedited basis. They encourage grant recipients to spend funds expeditiously. Awardees must retain complete records to support all grant payments

    Additional Information

    Applicants that accept funding from the CARES Act must continue to employ, through December 31, 2020, at least 90% of the number of individuals employed as of March 27, 2020. The Secretary of Transportation may waive this workforce retention requirement if the Secretary determines that the sponsor is experiencing economic hardship as a direct result of the requirement, or that the requirement reduces aviation safety or security. The workforce retention requirement does not apply to non-hub or non-primary airports.
