The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration on April 1 opened a $269 million funding opportunity under its Airport Improvement Program. Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) infrastructure projects are among those eligible for the funding.
The Airport Improvement Program is a grant program that funds airport infrastructure projects, including those related to runways, taxiways, airport signage, airport lighting and airport markings. In its April 1 notice, the FAA is announcing the opportunity to apply for approximately $269 million in fiscal year (FY) supplemental discretionary grants. Nearly $236 million of those funds will be made available to medium and large hub airports, with $33 million available to small hub, nonhub and nonprimary airports. The FAA expects to make at least 50 awards through the current notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). Priority project categories under the April 1 NOFO include SAF, airfield operational resiliency, and emissions and energy improvements.
