Grant to fund new service at BIA
Bangor International Airport is receiving $500,000 in federal aid to help it expand service to new cities.
The U.S. Department of Transportation announced BIA will receive the grant from the Small Community Air Service Development Program to add new markets and capacity, according to a press release from U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. The DOT reported the funding will provide a minimum revenue guarantee for United Airlines to provide service between Bangor and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and/or Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. If revenues from the service do not cover operating expenses, the airline will use the funds to make up the difference, according to the release.
The award was one of 19 proposals selected nationwide under the air service program, according to the Bangor Daily News.
