## Summary

The Department for Transport (DfTc) is inviting applications for the "Airport and Ground Operations Support Scheme," aimed at supporting airports and ground handlers in England affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This grant scheme falls under the air transport services industry category and is active as of 28 May 2021. Applications must be submitted via the DfT sourcing portal by the deadline of 20 June 2021 at 23:59. The contract is expected to commence on 1 September 2021 and conclude on 31 August 2022.
