The funding comes from programs under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded over 25 airports over $465 million in grants to replace or upgrade baggage handling systems. The funding, under the Airport Terminal Program or Airport Infrastructure Grant Program of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, provides the opportunity for airports to modernize their facilities.
“We’re helping travelers reunite with loved ones quicker, start vacations sooner, and make crucial appointments,” said FAA Associate Administrator for Airports Shannetta Griffin on the importance of maintaining and modernizing baggage handling systems. “The last thing anybody wants is the stress of a luggage delay.”
The FAA stated, “To date, the Administration has announced over $461 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding for over 60,000 infrastructure projects across the nation and has mobilized over $898 billion in private sector manufacturing and clean energy investments in the United States.“
