U.S. Senator Jerry Moran co-introduces legislation to bolster and attract new air service to small communities across the country.

 The Small Community Air Service Development Program was designed to allow small airports to apply for grants to help support and draw air carrier service to their airports. The Small Community Air Service Enhancement Act, according to Moran, will improve the SCASDP by increasing available funding for this competitive program and ensuring airports which have experienced a significant reduction in air service are prioritized.

 Moran says every flight counts in small communities with limited access to air travel, where each flight can have a significant impact on drawing new businesses and families to a region. Strengthening the Small Community Air Service Development Program will help small airports attract commercial flights increasing connectivity across the state of Kansas.
