$500,000 Federal Grant

$500,000 Federal Grant

The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) awarded Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) a grant of $500,000 to attract commercial air service between RDM and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). The grant is designated to serve as a revenue guarantee and marketing of the new air service route. RDM was 1 of 49 communities competing for the grant. Only 11 applicants were awarded the USDOT Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASP) grant.

RDM will work with its airline consult Mead & Hunt as well as the Central Oregon Air Service Team (COAST) to recruit an air carrier to provide service between RDM and PHX. “This is an exciting first step towards securing PHX air service and increasing the passenger options at RDM” stated Redmond Mayor George Endicott.
