The Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy have awarded $870 million in Airport Infrastructure Grants for 339 projects across 44 states and two territories. The funding will support runway and taxiway work, terminal improvements, roadway access, baggage systems and other safety-related airport upgrades, with major allocations going to Los Angeles International Airport and Miami International Airport.
The largest single award totals $289 million for Los Angeles International Airport, where the money will help fund a new terminal access road. Miami International Airport will receive $50 million for terminal roof reconstruction. Other grants will support projects at Akron-Canton, Juneau, Charleston and Sugar Land, ranging from passenger bridge and facility rehabilitation to snow removal equipment replacement, terminal expansion and runway reconstruction.
The latest round comes through the FAA’s Airport Infrastructure Grants programme, which is used to fund planning and development as well as airfield and landside works. The awards are spread across a broad national network of airports, reflecting continued federal spending on capacity, resilience and passenger-facing improvements at a time when carriers and airports are facing ongoing infrastructure pressure.
