Columbus Airport Gets $750K Grant to Recruit New Airline
Thursday, October 2nd, 2014
Marking the first anniversary of his arrival as director of Columbus Airport, Richard Howell acknowledged the “nice present” he received Wednesday in the form of a $750,000 federal grant.
That money, he said, will be used to recruit a new airline to the city, with a portion of the cash acting as a carrot of sorts. The airport will offer a “revenue guarantee” that will fund any shortfall a carrier experiences in its passenger loads as it gets up and running.
