Ontario International Receives $4 Million From FAA

AIP Funds For Runway, Taxiway Rehab Projects

Ontario International Airport (KONT) in Ontario, California, will receive another $4 million from the FAA via a grant through the Airport Improvement Program (AIP).

The airport will use the funds for rehabilitating its runways and taxiways as it continues to be the most popular airport in the state, according to the most recent airport satisfaction study by J.D. Powers. Located about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, the airport is on track to surpass 7 million passengers in 2024. That is a 75% increase since the airport was returned to local ownership in 2016. KONT also ranks in the Top 10 cargo airports in the country.

Atif Elkadi, Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority said, "We are deeply grateful for our partnership with the FAA, along with the unwavering support of Congressional leaders in Washington, D.C., for providing the critical funding needed to enhance our runways, taxiways and infrastructure. Together, we are committed to creating the safest possible experience for our travelers and air carriers across the U.S.”

The FAA announced earlier in August it is awarding $636 million to airports across the country under the program. The money from AIP grants is used for a variety of projects at airports around the country for planning, airport development, noise compatibility, and safety.

Shannetta R. Griffin, FAA Associate Administrator for Airports pointed out, "This $636 million investment helps airports across the Nation sustain and improve critical infrastructure to advance the safest, most efficient airport system in the world.”
