Aug. 19, 2024 (Lincoln, Neb.) — On June 28 and July 26, 2024, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded $18 million to 24 airports across the state. The grant funds
are part of a nationwide initiative to enhance airfield safety and infrastructure.
Nebraska’s airports are part of a broader vision, with the FAA distributing over $123 million in grants to
235 airports in 35 states and the District of Columbia. These grants underline a national commitment to
promoting safety, efficiency, environmental stewardship, infrastructure, and security across America’s
airports. The FAA’s Airport Improvement Program, bolstered by approximately $3.3 billion in annual
funding, is dedicated to elevating the standards of aviation nationwide. A complete listing of grants is on
the FAA website along with an interactive map with all the awards.
