Air travel is critical to our country’s infrastructure and here locally, the airport’s economic impact is more than $500 million per year,” he said. “I want to thank our elected officials here in Illinois and at the federal level for their support of the transportation sector. “As a facility that supports nearly 500 jobs, nearly 100 of which are employed directly by the Metropolitan Airport Authority, this funding ensures that we can continue to provide the level of service that we are known for while keeping the MAA workforce fully intact,” Q-C airport executive director Benjamin Leischner said Wednesday morning. The Q-C airport previously received $8 million from the CARES Act. This funding will continue to offset lost revenue and provide operational and payroll support. The program, funded under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020 (CRRSA), awarded $2 billion total to U.S. The Quad City Airport in Moline is getting $2.8 million in new federal Covid relief.
