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.
