Glendale will receive $1.3 million and Lake Havasu City $6.2 million in Federal Aviation Administration grants for their airports, funded through Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. Mark Kelly’s bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law’s Airport Improvement Program’s fiscal year 2022 supplemental.

“Thanks to these investments from our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Lake Havasu City and Glendale airports will see more good-paying jobs, safety improvements, and economic opportunities,” Sen. Kelly shared in a statement. “We’ll continue working to boost jobs and economic growth for communities across Arizona.”

Sinema is chair of the Senate Aviation Safety, Operations, and Innovation Subcommittee, and co-author of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law.

The bipartisan law includes $25 billion in additional investments for aviation infrastructure. It provides $15 billion in priority projects at every airport in the U.S., $5 billion in competitive grants for terminal development and other landslide projects, and $5 billion in grants for strengthening Air Traffic Control towers and infrastructure.

Arizona airports are expected to receive a total of at least $360 million in additional federal support over the next five years from the bipartisan infrastructure law.
