Millions of Americans fly every day, and it’s important that our nation’s airports be equipped to handle such a volume of passengers. The grants we’re announcing today will make key improvements to ensure passengers move safely and efficiently through our airports—and is another example of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to modernising our nation’s aviation systems.

The airports receiving funding include:

  • Colorado Springs Airport in Colorado: 6.4 million USD to rehabilitate the existing terminal building and accommodate a 14,000-square-foot Federal Inspection Service facility
  • Melbourne Orlando International Airport in Florida: 3 million USD for the first phase of the terminal building rehabilitation project, which includes the installation of a new baggage system
  • Bangor International in Maine: 8.3 million USD to rehabilitate 7,436 feet of Runway 15/33, maintaining the structural integrity of the pavement and minimising debris
  • Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada: 27.8 million USD to install runway edge drains to protect the Runway 8R/26, rehabilitate taxiway pavements, and reconstruct 104,416 square yards of the holding pad apron pavement
  • Joe Foss Field Airport in Sioux Falls, South Dakota: 8.1 million USD to expand and rehabilitate the existing terminal building
