The Owensboro-Daviess County Regional Airport now has a new terminal, an 8,000-foot runway and two carriers serving the flying public, as well as boardings that now exceed the 30,000 mark. The airport receives $1 million each year from the Federal Aviation Administration for capital improvements if it has more than 10,000 boardings per year. It has surpassed that mark each year since 2009, when Allegiant began offering nonstop flights to and from Orlando, Florida.
