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.
