Airports across the nation faced hardships throughout 2020 and into 2021 as travel hesitancy increased due to the spread of the coronavirus.
“The Augusta Regional Airport is truly honored to play a small part by hosting this vaccination site,” Herbert L. Judon Jr., airport executive director, said. “We recognize that our role is not only to provide Aviation resources, but also one of service to our citizens. On a selfish note, the sooner we get people vaccinated, the sooner they can resume travel.”
