If you have traveled by air in the last six months, you have probably noticed the uptick in air traffic since the pandemic. The FAA has noticed it as well and is awarding nearly $1 billion for President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to 99 airports to pay for improvements to make them more efficient, as well accommodating to the traveling public.
The funding is part of the Airport Terminal Program, which is one of three aviation programs created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law signed into effect by Biden in November 2021. The law codifies a $25 billion investment into U.S. airports and FAA facilities in the name of maintenance, reducing congestion, and modernizing the National Aerospace System. Investments include $5 billion for facilities and equipment, $15 billion for the Airport Infrastructure Grant Program, and $5 billion for the Airport Terminal Program.
