Biden Harris Administration Announce $1B in Airport Funding to Meet Growing Travel Demand as Covid Recovery Continues

The Federal Aviation Administration is awarding ~$1 billion from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to 99 airports across the country. Larger security checkpoints, more reliable and faster baggage systems and better roadways and multi-modal connections are just some of the improvements passengers will see. The funding is going to small, medium and large communities.

“Americans deserve the best airports in the world, and with demand for air travel surging back, this funding to improve the passenger experience couldn’t come at a more urgent time,” said US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, “all while creating jobs and supporting local economies.”

Today’s fiscal year 2023 funding is from the Airport Terminal Program, one of three aviation programs created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The law provides $1 billion annually for five years for Airport Terminal Program grants. In total, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided a historic $25 billion to modernize our country’s airport infrastructure. Learn more at faa.gov/bil.

These awards are an addition to the $1 billion for Airport terminals announced for 85 airports last year (FY 2022). The vast majority of those projects are now under construction. Many of the latest grants will build new or expanded terminal facilities – if the Republicans don’t default on the debt ceiling, sending the economy into a depression.
