AAAE Wants Airports in Stimulas Package

Making airports construction part of a new economic stimulus package is what the American Association of Airport Executives wants Congress to do as it considers a new package. It also wants the law changed to assist airports in financing infrastructure upgrades at their facilities.
“As the Federal Aviation Administration has just reported, airport infrastructure needs have grown significantly in recent years,” AAAE President Chip Barclay noted today. “Congress can make substantial progress in addressing those urgent needs and create tens of thousands of high-paying construction jobs along the way by providing additional funding for airport improvements and by making minor modifications to existing law relative to airport bonds and debt service.”
