Regulatory Alert: FAA Announces $302 Million in FY22 AIP Grants for Over 40 Airports
September 22, 2022
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on September 22 announced the award of over $302 million in infrastructure grants as part of the fiscal year 2022 (FY22) Airport Improvement Program (AIP). The 47 grants announced today will fund a variety of projects at over 40 airports in 23 states, including construction and improvement of airport facilities, repairs to runways and taxiways, and purchasing equipment needed to operate and maintain airports.
The AIP grants announced were made available by the $3.35 billion in “regular“ AIP funding that Congress provided in March of this year as part of the FY22 omnibus spending bill. This is the sixth round of grants released for this fiscal year. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and FAA have previously awarded about $2.97 billion in FY22 AIP grants in separate announcements on May 12, June 7, June 29, July 26, and August 30. This brings the total to approximately $3.27 billion for FY22 AIP grants.
As of July, FAA stopped issuing press releases for AIP grant award announcements. However, you can review the full list of grant awards released today here.
In addition to FAA's awarding of over $3.27 billion in FY22 AIP grants this year, FAA is expected to release a notice of funding opportunity that will outline how airports can apply for a share of approximately $272 million in supplemental discretionary funds that Congress provided as part of the FY22 omnibus spending bill. We will provide additional updates as FAA makes more information available.
