VALDOSTA, Ga. — Officials in south Georgia are hoping federal officials will award a grant that could increase air service to Valdosta Regional Airport.
Airport Manager Jim Galloway told the Valdosta Daily Times that a grant could enable two round trips a day connecting to the American Airlines hub in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Valdosta City Council recently applied for the Federal Aviation Administration grant, but a decision is not expected until fall.
Currently, the only airline service offers three round trips a day connecting to Delta Air Lines in Atlanta.
Any flights to North Carolina would not begin until 2022.
