Marshall University Aviation Program Secures $2.5 Million in Federal Funding
U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito has announced a $2.5 million Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) allocation for Marshall University's Bill Noe Flight School. This significant federal investment is earmarked for the construction of a new hangar and academic building at West Virginia International Yeager Airport. The funding will support the expansion of the university's Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) and commercial pilot training programs. By enabling the program to double its capacity, this investment aims to address the critical nationwide shortage of pilots and aviation mechanics.
