Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) is proud to host the Third Annual Meet-a-Machine benefitting the Children’s Hospital of Georgia.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. According to the National Cancer Institute, there will be an estimated 10,470 new cases of children, from birth to age 14, diagnosed with different forms of cancer each year.
The Meet-a-Machine is a family event that provides the public the opportunity to see, touch, and learn about multiple types of vehicles. These vehicles include emergency response vehicles, planes, aircraft equipment, construction equipment, and much more. The event is designed to raise funds to support the research into the causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatments, and cures of childhood cancers.
“We are grateful for the Augusta Regional Airport’s continued support of the Children’s Hospital of Georgia,” said Kelsey McCullough, CMN Philanthropy Coordinator. “The funds raised by this organization greatly impact our patients.”
“We are, once again, honored to host the “Meet a Machine” event and to do our small part to highlight the impacts of pediatric cancer and the important and outstanding work the Children’s Hospital of Georgia does in this space,” said Herbert L. Judon, Jr., Airport Executive Director. “We are appreciative of the many individuals and organizations that display their “machines” for this event. It is heartwarming to see the patience and kindness these individuals convey when children interact with their “machines”. “As you travel through AGS you will also see a display of gold pinwheels at the entrance of the Airport. These are a small recognition of those lost or battling cancer.”
Meet-a-Machine will be held on September 17th from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. by Hangar One at Augusta Regional Airport. Tickets are $5 per adult. Children 12 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at https://flyags.ticketleap.com/meet-a-machine-2022/

Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) invites you to the Airport Rescue Grant Concession Relief Stakeholder Meeting.

Section 7102 of ARPA provides approximately $8 billion in economic relief to airports to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, including relief from rent and minimum annual guarantees (MAG) for eligible airport concessions at primary airports.
The funds are coming directly from the U.S. Treasury’s General Fund to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. FAA’s Office of Airports will administer these grant funds to airport sponsors.
AGS received $4.4 million including $283,134 for Concession Relief.
AGS apportioned the money to its in-terminal concessions that met the eligibility criteria in accordance with Airport Coronavirus Response Grant Program (ACRGP) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) dated November 24, 2021 https://www.faa.gov/airports/crrsaa/media/ACRGP-FAQs-20211124.pdf.

“For hire” ground transportation vehicles: The Masters generates significant numbers of “for hire” ground transportation operators that are not normally permitted at the Airport. As part of AGS’s curb enforcement operation and for equitable business practices, these operators will be required to pay (by credit or debit card) a nominal trip fee of $2.00, and will be directed to a designated parking lot adjacent to the main terminal building. This is the same fee imposed for year-round “for hire” commercial ground vehicle operators. Airport permitted or year-round “for hire” commercial ground vehicle operators will continue to operate as normal.
These protocols extend to “for profit” enterprises that enter the premises for the sole purpose of picking up passengers i.e. taxies, limousines, hotel/motel shuttle services, hospitality transportation services, etc.
New Amenities for 2022: As part of the Airport’s “Advancing. Growing. Stronger” (AGS) Campaign, this year customers will experience many upgrades such as the recently renovated baggage claim area and automated exit lane equipment.
Flight Offerings: In addition to regularly scheduled destinations, Washington D.C., Dallas, Charlotte, and Atlanta. Delta and American Airlines will offer additional direct flights to and from Augusta during the week of the Masters. This year’s itinerary includes direct service to and from New York, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and for the first time at AGS, Austin.
“As the primary aviation gateway to Augusta, we are diligently preparing for the 2022 Masters™ and excited for the prospects of a full event,” said Herbert L. Judon Jr., Airport Executive Director. ” Albeit a very busy time, we are privileged to provide facilities and services for our visitors as well as local customers who choose to take advantage of the expanded Masters™ Week flight offerings.”
