The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a new round of funding for 90 airport-related infrastructure grants across 34 states, totaling nearly $187 million. These projects are part of President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Airport Infrastructure Grants (AIG) program, which includes $25 billion for airport improvements such as terminal expansions, baggage system upgrades, and runway safety enhancements.

“Millions of people fly every day, and making sure passengers can get to and from their destinations safely, and with less stress, has been a priority for the Biden-Harris Administration," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "The funding we're announcing today will help 91 airports make critical upgrades to improve travel and further modernize our aviation infrastructure.”

“These grants not only invest in the physical infrastructure of our airports but also in strengthening safety and improving efficiency for travelers, and help the economy thrive,” said FAA Associate Administrator for Airports Shannetta R. Griffin.

Airports receiving funding include:

- Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Michigan: $61.8 million for the rehabilitation of an on-airport roadway.

President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law aims to rebuild America’s roads, bridges, public transit, rail systems, ports, and airports while enhancing national competitiveness through substantial investments.
