FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Grants Update
Since June 28, 2024, there have been three Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant round releases from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). There were 26 grants awarded over the last two months totaling over $20.1 million.
The airport grant program funds airport infrastructure projects such as runways, taxiways, airport signage, airport lighting, and airport markings. The grants strengthen our nation's aviation infrastructure. Airports are entitled to a certain amount of AIP funding each year, based on passenger volume. If their capital project needs exceed their available entitlement funds, then the FAA can supplement their entitlements with discretionary funding.
