OMAHA, Neb. —

Congressman Don Bacon announced millions in funding for Eppley Airfield.

The airport secured a $7 million FY24 Congressional Directed Spending grant.

The money will go toward international expansion.

“We are building essentially a new airport that will meet the travel needs of the growing metropolitan Omaha area and welcome international flights. This transformation will shape our region’s future for many decades to come and will be vital for Omaha's economy,” said Bacon. “I'm pleased to work with the leaders at Eppley and Sen. Fischer in creating what will become the best airport in the Midwest.”
