Airport Funding

Airport funding refers to the financial resources allocated for the construction, maintenance, and operation of airports. This funding comes from various sources, including federal, state, and local government grants, as well as airport user fees, such as passenger and landing fees. The federal government, particularly through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), plays a key role by providing grants from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Additionally, airports may issue bonds or seek private investment to finance projects, ensuring they can accommodate growing air traffic and improve passenger services while maintaining safety standards.
