Airport Terminals Program

General Grant Program Information

Created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the FAA’s Airport Terminals Program (ATP) provides $5 billion in competitive grants for terminal development projects that address the aging air infrastructure at large hub airports (not more than 55 percent of grant funding), medium hub airports (not more than 15 percent), small hub airports (not more than 20 percent), and non-hub or nonprimary airports (not less than 10 percent).

These grants will fund safe, sustainable, and accessible airport terminals, on-airport rail access projects, and airport-owned airport traffic control towers. Projects may also include multimodal development.

For FY24, $1 billion has been made available to fund projects across the country. These projects improve the passenger experience at airports in communities of all sizes. These improvements aim to make it faster and easier to check bags, get through security, and find your gate, all while creating jobs and supporting local economies.
