What it does
The bill gives the FAA $10 billion to help 3 medium-hub airports. These airports will fix old terminals built before 1990. The bill gives another $10.1 billion to upgrade air traffic control systems. The FAA can pay up to 90% of terminal costs. It can pay 80–95% of airport improvement costs. The bill does not say which 3 airports get picked.
Who it affects
Citizens use airports and fly on planes. They may benefit from newer terminals and better air traffic control. Airport companies, construction firms, and technology vendors may also be affected.
One thing to notice
The bill does not explain which 3 airports will be picked. The FAA leader can decide alone how to spend the $5 billion for airport terminals.
