The FAA funding comes from the fifth round of Airport Improvement Program grants that will pay for projects at 279 airports in 44 states and Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
“These grants will improve safety, sustainability, and accessibility at airports across our country,” FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said.
