Key Takeaways:

The CARES Act recently signed by President Trump included $10 billion in economic relief for more than 3,000 airports around the country affected by the COVID-19 virus. Most general aviation airports, for example, survive through a combination of ground and hangar rentals, as well as per-gallon fuel flowage fees, so any decline in traffic can have serious consequences. My local GA airport in Chicago said traffic numbers have declined by more than 50 percent in recent weeks.
