Several key cargo airports in the U.S. are destined for improvements thanks to $31 million dollars in investments from the FAA. This week the agency announced nine airports across the country were the recipient of grants earmarked to improve cargo operations to help expedite the movement of goods through the country in effort to strengthen the nation’s supply chain.
The money for these projects comes from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). The program pays for a variety of projects at airports including the construction of new facilities, repairs to existing runways and taxiways and maintenance to aerodrome infrastructure such as signage and lighting, as well as the purchase of equipment needed to operate and maintain airports.
