The Saline County board of commissioners accepted a grant request from the Salina Airport Authority Tuesday that could prove huge in helping the Salina economy surge out of the pandemic. The airport will sign a one-year agreement with SkyWest Airlines to schedule nonstop jet service to Houston, Texas, starting Sept. 1. With the commission’s approval, the county will award the airport authority $1.64 million to reimburse SkyWest for any revenue shortfalls from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31, 2022.
