The Federal Aviation Administration has allocated $870 million in Airport Infrastructure Grants for 339 airports in 44 states and two U.S. territories. The funding will support safety upgrades, terminal work, runway and taxiway rehabilitation, airport roads and other infrastructure projects at large hubs and smaller regional facilities.
The package includes $289 million for Los Angeles International Airport to build a new terminal access road, one of the largest single awards in the round. Miami International Airport will receive $50 million to reconstruct part of its terminal roof, while Akron-Canton is set for $9.1 million for boarding bridges and key facilities. Juneau will get $4.2 million for snow-removal equipment, Charleston $3.7 million for terminal expansion and Sugar Land Regional $3.5 million for runway reconstruction.
The grants are being distributed through the FAA’s Airport Infrastructure Grants programme, created under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The latest round is the fifth and final instalment under the programme, adding another broad federal capital injection into airport assets as operators continue to address congestion, resilience and passenger-handling needs.
