The Georgia House of Representatives voted to extend a fuel tax break for airlines like Delta through 2039 on Tuesday.

Rep. Dominic LaRiccia, a floor leader for Gov. Brian Kemp, said the tax break has been key to maintaining Georgia’s business-friendly status.

“It allows us to continue to prosper and they have been a part of that success,” he said.
