The US Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration have set aside $870 million for airport infrastructure work through 339 Airport Infrastructure Grants across 44 states and two territories. The funding covers runway, terminal and access-road improvements, along with baggage, safety and family-friendly passenger features at airports nationwide.
Los Angeles International Airport will receive $289 million, while Miami International Airport has been allocated $50 million. Smaller awards are also going to airports in Ohio, Alaska, South Carolina and Texas, underscoring the broad reach of the grant round rather than a single-site project.
The money is being channelled through the FAA’s Airport Infrastructure Grants programme, which supports planning, development, sustainability projects, terminal upgrades, baggage system work, runway and taxiway rehabilitation, roadway improvements and other safety-related needs. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy and FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford framed the awards as part of efforts to make air travel safer, more efficient and more convenient for passengers.
