TOPEKA (KSNT) – On Tuesday, Governor Laura Kelly announced 37 airports will receive part of $14.3 million from the Kansas Airport Improvement Program (KAIP).
There were 135 applications seeking more than $84 million for this round of KAIP grant funds. The grant money will help fund 58 airport projects across the state. The projects will focus on pavement preservation, safety and air ambulance accessibility, according to the Office of the Governor.
“Improvements made to our aviation infrastructure are vital to local economies, even in rural parts of Kansas,” Kelly said. “These enhancements ensure that no matter where they are in the state, businesses and communities have every opportunity to grow and prosper.”

“These general aviation airport improvements couldn’t happen without local partners and KDOT working together,” said Kansas Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed. “Programs like this help Kansans have access to renewed and reliable transportation options available to them in every region of the state.”
Matching funds are required but the amount depends on the project. With matching funds, the total KAIP value is more than $34 million.
