PHOENIX, AZ – Today, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) announced the release of more than $147 million in CARES Act relief funding for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration will award $225 million to airports throughout Arizona under the Coronavirus Aird, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Airport Grant Program.

"I'm glad Sky Harbor is receiving this critical funding so they are able to continue operations, save workers' jobs, meet future travel needs for Arizonans, and continue to contribute to the economic growth of Phoenix and all of Arizona."
