CVG receives $11.6M in Airport Improvement Program grants
Investment in infrastructure to support airport growth
Erlanger, Ky. (November 22, 2019) ― The U.S. Department of Transportation announced that the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) will receive a total of $11.6M in Airport Improvement Program grants. The national program funds airport infrastructure projects such as runways, taxiways, airport signage, airport lighting and airport markings.
The $11.6M in total grants includes an already awarded $5.5M to CVG in September. An additional $6.1M in discretionary grants was announced today, all of which will enable rehabilitation of two taxiways and construction of a connector between taxiways.
“Infrastructure projects funded by these grants will advance safety, improve travel, generate jobs and provide other economic benefits for local communities,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao in an issued release.
“Thanks to the leadership of Candace McGraw and the CVG board, CVG is one of the fastest-growing airports in the country,” said Congressman Thomas Massie (KY 4th District). “Thank you to Secretary Chao and the Department of Transportation for ensuring that federal dollars are being reinvested in our airport. This funding will support further expansion and throughput, driving strong economic growth in Northern Kentucky.”
“This grant funding is critical to CVG, and we thank the U.S. Department of Transportation and Secretary Chao for recognizing that infrastructure investment enables continued growth at the airport,” said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer, CVG. “These funds will ensure continued growth and safe operations with the rehabilitation of two of our taxiways.”

RECORDED: Wednesday, October 16th, 2019 at 10:00 am EDT
Use of RFID technology for tracking baggage has evolved steadily during the past four years, deployed system-wide by a major legacy US airline, adoption at more airports, and a resounding vote of confidence at the recent IATA AGM in June, 2019. RFID was selected as the ideal technology by the IATA membership for future bag tags because it has been demonstrated to improve read rates which lead to large reductions in baggage mishandling, thereby removing lost baggage and its associated costs.
This seminar sets the record straight regarding RFID bag tags. What's true, what's not true, what are the best ways to deploy the technology, and what components are necessary. These are the issues which deserve additional clarity, and the webinar panel will address the assumptions that have been in place for years, and leave the attendee with the facts.
Mark Summers from Avery Dennison and Tom Gebler from SICK, Inc. will tackle these questions and others in: RFID Baggage Solutions: Let's Talk About the Facts and the Best Way Forward.
