Dozens of Indiana airports have received millions in Federal Aviation Administration grants for various improvement projects. The FAA awarded $586 million in infrastructure grants, included in the $3.18 billion Airport Improvement Program. 

U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao says this round of funding includes 217 grants to 181 airports across the country. 

“These airport investments will create jobs in local communities, upgrade reliability, and further improve safety of air travel for the flying public,” said Secretary Chao.
