Airports Council International – North America (ACI-NA) this week praised the U.S. Senate for passing the nearly $1 trillion infrastructure package that features $25 billion for U.S. airports and air traffic towers.
The package includes $20 billion for U.S. airports as the industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to invest in measures to limit the spread of the virus. and
“Airports across the United States are grateful to senators from both parties for supporting an infrastructure bill that makes a much-needed down payment to upgrade their aging facilities,” said Kevin Burke, ACI-NA president and CEO. “With the industry still recovering from steep losses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, these investments are more important than ever. We applaud members of both parties for supporting this legislation in the Senate and urge the House to pass it.”
