Federal Aviation Administration allocates over $332 million in grants to enhance airport infrastructure, addressing growing air travel demand and safety improvements.

On 8 January 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced over $332m in funding for 171 grants across 32 states as part of the Airport Infrastructure Grants (AIG) programme. This comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which allocates $25b over five years to enhance airport and air traffic control infrastructure.

The AIG funding can be used for various purposes, including airport planning, development, sustainability efforts, terminal expansions, baggage system upgrades, runway safety improvements, and noise mitigation projects.

“We are using funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make historic investments in our nation’s airports to address a backlog of needs and accommodate growing air travel demand,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “These investments—some already completed and many more still underway—ensure the travelling public will have safer and more accessible and efficient airports for decades to come.” 

A full list of AIG grants being announced is available on the FAA website.
