National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS)

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS) is a federal program that identifies and prioritizes airports across the United States for development and funding. It helps ensure that airports of national, regional, and local importance are maintained and improved to support aviation needs, economic growth, and safety. The NPIAS categorizes airports based on their role, such as commercial service or general aviation, facilitating targeted investment and planning to keep air transportation reliable and efficient.
