The City of New Orleans and Armstrong International Airport announced that the FAA awarded an additional $39.3 million in grants to the airport, which will be used to help fund an extension to its current taxiway infrastructure. The grant comes as a part of the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program, which funds airport infrastructure projects, including runways, taxiways, airport signage, lighting, markings and other critical infrastructure. The Airport was previously notified that it would be awarded $15.2 million in AIP funds for the taxiway project, and this announcement brings the total federal funding for this project to $54.5 million. The money will be used toward the extension of the Airport’s Taxiway G and Taxiway B, improving aircraft access to the East-West Runway.
