Summary:

The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) has provided federal grants for airport development and planning since the passage of the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-248). AIP funding is usually spent on projects that support aircraft operations including runways, taxiways, aprons, noise abatement, land purchase, and safety, emergency or snow removal equipment. Funds obligated for the AIP are drawn from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, which is supported by a variety of user fees and fuel taxes. With the passage of Vision 100, the AIP issues for Congress over the next few years will be issues of oversight of the AIP and the passenger facility charge programs within the context of implementing federal airport safety, capacity, and noise issues.
