US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has unveiled $870 million in Federal Aviation Administration funding for airport infrastructure projects nationwide, with 339 grants going to airports in 44 states and two territories. The Airport Infrastructure Grants programme will support runway, taxiway, terminal and roadway works, alongside baggage system upgrades and other safety-related improvements.
The department highlighted several large awards, including $289 million for Los Angeles International Airport for a new terminal access road and $50 million for Miami International Airport to reconstruct a terminal roof. Smaller allocations include $9.1 million for Akron-Canton Airport, $4.2 million for Juneau International Airport, $3.7 million for Charleston International Airport and $3.5 million for Sugar Land Regional Airport.
FAA framed the package as part of a broader effort to improve safety and passenger experience across the US airport network, including family-friendly facilities and more efficient access to terminals. The funding is spread across a wide range of airports rather than concentrated in a single hub, reflecting a nationwide capital programme aimed at maintaining operational resilience and modernising passenger infrastructure.
