The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded $870 million in grants for airport infrastructure projects at 339 airports across 44 states and territories. The funding covers runway, terminal and safety work, with major awards going to Los Angeles International Airport and Miami International Airport under the final tranche of the agency’s $14.5 billion Airport Infrastructure Grants programme.
The largest single allocation is $289 million for Los Angeles International Airport to build a new terminal access road. Miami International Airport will receive $50 million to reconstruct a terminal roof. Other identified projects include $9.1 million for Akron-Canton Airport for passenger bridges and facility reconstruction, $4.2 million for Juneau International Airport to replace snow removal equipment, $3.7 million for Charleston International Airport for terminal expansion and $3.5 million for Sugar Land Regional Airport for runway reconstruction.
The nationwide spread of the awards gives the programme a broad footprint across the US airport system, with funding directed toward infrastructure improvements, safety enhancements and passenger-focused upgrades. The grants form the last installment of the Airport Infrastructure Grants programme, which has channelled federal capital into airport modernisation and operational resilience.
