The Mobile Airport Authority received a $1,000,000 project grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Payments for Small Community Air Service Development program (CFDA 20.930) to enhance air service and increase access to the national transportation system in Mobile, AL from September 13, 2021 through January 8, 2027. The grant funds will support the Mobile Regional Airport's efforts to help the small community improve air service options and connectivity through the airport. The Payments for Small Community Air Service Development program aims to assist small communities that are disadvantaged by high air fares and service limitations, such as those in rural areas, by subsidizing air carrier service.
