Senate Approves Aviation Bill, With Boost for Construction Grants
The Senate has passed a three-year reauthorization of federal aviation programs, including a modest increase for airport construction grants. Senate passage of the bill came on June 12, by an overwhelming 94-0 vote.
Senate action came one day after the House approved its version of the aviation measure, a four-year renewal of the Federal Aviation Administration programs, with even higher funding for Airport Improvement Program construction grants.
