FAA releases US$332 million for airport infrastructure improvements
The Federal Aviation Administration has announced a significant funding package worth US$332 million to modernize airports across the United States, marking another milestone in the implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s aviation initiatives.
The funding, distributed through 171 grants across 32 states under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program, aims to address critical infrastructure needs ranging from terminal expansions to runway safety improvements. This allocation is part of the law’s broader US$25 billion commitment to enhance airport and air traffic control infrastructure over five years.
“We are using funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make historic investments in our nation’s airports to address a backlog of needs and accommodate growing air travel demand,” says US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “These investments – some already completed and many more still underway – ensure the traveling public will have safer and more accessible and efficient airports for decades to come.”
The grants support diverse improvement projects including airport planning, development initiatives, sustainability efforts, baggage system upgrades and noise mitigation measures. This comprehensive approach addresses both immediate operational needs and long-term sustainability goals.
This funding package represents another step in the systematic modernization of America’s aviation infrastructure, designed to meet growing passenger demand while enhancing safety and efficiency across the national airport network.
