In total, Indiana airports will receive $12.26 billion. This funding is considered to be the fourth allotment of Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funding.

“This significant investment in airport improvements in Florida will fund construction and rehabilitation projects that will help maintain high levels of safety in U.S. aviation,” said Chao.
