WA Airports Received Nearly $200M in Federal Funding in 2023, Murray and Cantwell Announce

Grants funded projects at 37 WA airports to make flying safer and more enjoyable

SEATTLE, WA – The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funded improvements at 37 airports across the State of Washington in 2023, U.S. Senators Patty Murray (D-WA), chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Maria Cantwell (D-WA), chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, announced today. 

A total of $190,387,738 went directly to Washington state airports large and small during the year for projects to modernize runways, maintenance areas, and equipment. In addition, the State of Washington received a $1,000,000 planning grant.

The money came from the Federal Aviation Administration’s three primary airport grant programs: Airport Improvement Grants, Airport Infrastructure Grants, which are funded through the BIL, and the Airport Terminal Program.

“Airports are absolutely essential to getting people where they need to go—and when our airports lack the capacity, infrastructure, or technology to serve passengers efficiently, it can cause major headaches and delays,” dijo el senador Murray. “Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’ve now brought nearly $200 million in federal funding home to airports across Washington state this year, from SeaTac to Spokane and Wenatchee to Chehalis. This funding will help our airports make significant improvements—from adding security screening capacity, to constructing new taxiways and aprons, to updating lighting and signage—and as Chair of the Appropriations Committee, I’ll keep working to deliver more investments like this to help airports of all sizes upgrade their facilities, build capacity, and better serve people throughout our state.”

“This year, 37 airports across the State of Washington received a total of nearly $200 million in federal funding to add capacity for more flights, modernize aging facilities, and improve the overall experience of travelers coming in and out of our state. The benefits of these investments can also be felt far beyond our airports – stronger air service translates to economic growth, high-paying jobs, and increased connectivity between our rural and urban communities,” Dijo el senador Cantwell. “From funding new terminal projects in Spokane and Pullman to improving security wait times at Sea-Tac, federal airport grants are delivering results in every region across the state and will continue to pay dividends for Washington’s economy for generations to come.”

El año pasado, los senadores Murray y Cantwell trabajó duro para asegurar la financiación for air travel infrastructure nationwide as part of the Biden-Harris Infrastructure Law. With their support, the infrastructure package provided a total of $25 billion for airport improvements, including $5 billion for the Airport Terminal Program, $5 billion for Federal Aviation Administration air traffic control facilities, and $15 billion in Airport Infrastructure Grants. In addition, Sens. Murray and Cantwell also ayudó a obtener más de $217 millones in Airport Rescue Grants of Washington airports to help weather the COVID-19 pandemic.
