Recent developments in U.S. aviation infrastructure have seen significant funding allocated to various airports across the country. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced a fourth round of grants in late October 2024, distributing approximately $970 million among 125 airports in 46 states, Guam, and Palau. Five airports received notably large portions of this funding, each exceeding $110 million.
Tampa International Airport in Florida was the largest recipient, receiving $40 million. This funding is designated for terminal expansion, specifically "connecting Terminal D to the main terminal with an automated people mover and adding nine boarding bridges," according to the FAA.
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas was awarded $33.2 million. These funds will contribute to constructing a new Midfield Terminal B with at least 20 new gates and a connecting tunnel set for completion by 2030.
