Funding and Financial Support
United States
The US Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has started investing the first 1 billion USD in funding to modernise the country’s air traffic control system.
The funding is part of a total 5 billion USD that will be invested to maintain and replace air traffic control buildings and equipment across the US thanks to President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
“Air traffic control facilities are the nerve centres of our airspace system, and a big part of the reason why flying is the safest mode of transportation. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will repair, replace and modernise the infrastructure that our air traffic control system relies on to keep the traveling public safe for generations to come.”
The 1 billion USD available in the first year of funding will be used to improve several key components of the nation’s air traffic control system:
These projects will create jobs for local suppliers, construction workers, and communities nationwide.
