Kimball Airport Flight Center

Kimball Airport Flight Center, doing business as Kimball Municipal Airport and operating as a division of the Kimball Airport Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and airport authority based in Kimball, Nebraska, that acts as a federal grant recipient for airport infrastructure improvements funded by the Federal Aviation Administration. The entity competes exclusively for federal grant funding rather than contracts and has no prime contracting awards or subcontracting relationships.

Kimball Airport Authority holds all ten of its recent federal awards as a grant recipient under two FAA programs. The Federal Aviation Administration Central Region has issued seven awards totaling $12.5 million in combined obligation. The entity received two concurrent project grants in April and May 2026 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), each funding a portion of a single coordinated pavement improvement initiative. The $413,684 Airport Improvement Program award and the $466,315 Airport Infrastructure Grants award together fund reconstruction of 600 linear feet of taxiway pavement, rehabilitation of 11,000 square yards of apron pavement, and rehabilitation of 6,200 linear feet of Taxiway A, with a completion deadline of April 29, 2030. Both grants address pavement deterioration and foreign object debris risks at Kimball Municipal Airport. The entity also received a June 2022 project grant under the Airport Improvement Program to rehabilitate 6,200 feet of Runway 10/28, completed by June 2026, and an American Rescue Plan Act grant dated January 2022 for COVID-19 pandemic relief and airport operations support. All recent activity is concentrated with the FAA Central Region; the entity has no awards from other federal agencies. Activity over the past five years shows sporadic annual volume — one award each in 2017, 2020, and 2021, two in 2022, and two in 2026 — with no contracting footprint or subcontracting role.
