Government Allows Airlines To Stop Service To Some Airports

Airlines are ceasing service to 75 airports due to low passenger demand, but each airport will still have at least one air carrier. The U.S. Transportation Department has approved this move, allowing airlines to continue receiving federal payroll assistance. The airline industry has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders. Airports like Chattanooga, TN, Bangor, ME, and Flint, MI, are among those affected.
