Delta Air Lines plans to cut flight service from Dayton to New York beginning in July.

The move upsets Dayton-area business and government officials, who claim that it will negatively impact business in the region.

One of Ohio's larger airports is seeking $4.4 million in extra federal funding to help create more room for airlines to park their planes overnight.

Dayton International Airport also wants to tear down a concourse it hasn't used for almost 20 years.

The Dayton Daily News reports the upgrades would be paid for with the additional federal money, plus the airport's $2.7 million in regular annual support from the Federal Aviation Administration. The city of Dayton would chip in $375,000 from the airport's capital reserve fund.

An FAA spokeswoman wouldn't comment on the airport's chances of landing the extra federal funding.
