On March 23, 2009, American Eagle Airlines announced it would begin twice daily regional jet service between Manhattan Regional Airport (MHK) and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), contingent on a commitment from the community to provide incentives. The State of Kansas agreed to fund $2 million over two years to support a Minimum Revenue Guarantee (MRG) to the airline that required local matching funds of $550,000.  Securing regional jet service opens important new economic development and tourism opportunities for the region.  DFW serves 173 destinations worldwide on 20 airlines and is the third busiest airport in the world with over 1,700 flights per day. On June 21, 2011, the City Commission agreed to waive six months of office rent and fuel flowage fees in exchange for the airline adding a second flight to Chicago. Due to additional airport revenues from the second Chicago flight, the net impact of the fee waivers is approximately $10,000. The second flight to ORD will be added in November 2011.
