Across Georgia, a total of $410.8 million in federal aid from the CARES Act is earmarked for 97 airports.

The amounts range from $26.8 million for the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport to $1,000 for Jekyll Island’s general aviation airport for private pilots.

Atlanta-area general aviation airports DeKalb-Peachtree Airport and Fulton County’s Charlie Brown Field will get $157,000 each.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced the award of the funds Tuesday.

An airport must continue to employ at least 90% of its employees through Dec. 31, 2020, to receive the money. While there are more than 63,000 workers based at Hartsfield-Jackson, the vast majority work for airlines, concessionaires or other contractors, not the airport. Hundreds of workers for airline contractors and concessionaires have already been laid off.

The money can be used for anything airport revenues can be spent on, including airport capital expenditures, operating expenses including payroll and utilities and debt payments.

The Federal Aviation Administration encouraged airports to spend the money to help minimize adverse impact from the coronavirus. The CARES Act will also add an additional $500 million for federal funding of existing airport grant programs.
