WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine announced $12,352,167 in federal funding for improvements for airports throughout the Commonwealth. This funding was awarded through the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airport Infrastructure Grants (AIG) program, which was created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that both senators helped pass.
"Virginia's airports are crucial for advancing our economy and connecting us to the rest of the country and the world," the senators said. "We're glad this funding, which was made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will help make needed upgrades and expansions possible for airports throughout the Commonwealth. We will continue working to bolster Virginia's infrastructure and economic growth."
The funding is broken down as follows:
Sens. Warner and Kaine have long supported efforts to improve Virginia's airports. Sens. Warner and Kaine have secured millions in federal funding for airports across Virginia through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. In October 2024, they announced nearly $57 million in federal funding to revitalize Virginia airports. In September 2024, they announced more than $46 million in federal funding for improvements to Virginia airports through the Airport Improvement Program. The senators have previously announced $104.6 million in combined federal funding for the new terminal building at Dulles.
