“Airports need to … tell their story, make sure their elected representatives understand what these local projects are in their communities, the jobs they create, the sustainability angle, the resiliency.”
A coalition of aviation industry participants worked together with airport lobbying organizations to win $20 billion in relief funds from Congress. That’s likely the extent of what Congress will provide in relief. Now, industry leaders have turned their attention toward infrastructure funding. President Biden has proposed a $2.3 trillion bill and airports have significant needs, as they begin preparing for life after COVID-19. In addition to dealing with financial challenges, the American Association of Airport Executives has enlisted a growing group of airports, operators and other players to jump-start innovation through its Airport Consortium on Consumer Trust.
