The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday it was awarding $970 million to 114 airports across the country as part of efforts to refurbish and expand aging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The awards include $35 million to Washington Dulles International Airport to fund part of a 14-gate terminal building and $40 million to Chicago O’Hare funding improvements to one of its terminals, the FAA said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden administration awarded similar amounts to airports last year and in 2022, as the country spends tens of billions to renovate aging airports that were often mocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FAA said the grants would help “meet the growing demand for air travel and launches projects that will improve passenger experience.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among projects set to receive funds are Los Angeles International Airport, which will get $31 million for improvements of surrounding roadways, and San Francisco International Airport, receiving $31 million to replace mechanical and electrical components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International airports in Salt Lake City, Denver and Charlotte will also get $20 million or more each, according to the FAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investments “will make it easier for passengers to get to and through airports, create jobs, and increase safety for all,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vast majority of the terminal projects being awarded money are still under construction, the statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
