U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today announced they are delivering $33,720,260 in new federal funding to upgrade airport facilities and equipment at Upstate New York airports. This federal funding was awarded through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s Airport Improvement Program (AIP). These grants will fund infrastructure projects, including ones that enhance airfield safety, modernize and upgrade taxiways, and prepare New York airports for winter. “Keeping our airports in top-notch shape is crucial to attracting business and tourism to Upstate New York. With winter approaching, it is more important than ever to ensure our airports are prepared for whatever winter storms come our way. I’m proud to deliver more than $33 million in federal funding to help our airports, from Elmira to Syracuse, invest in key safety upgrades and modernization efforts,” said Senator Schumer. “The Bipartisan Infrastructure and Jobs Law is continuing to help improvements at New York’s airports take off. I’ll always continue to fight to deliver federal resources to help our local economies reach new heights.” “I am proud to announce more than $33 million in federal funding to improve airports across New York State,” said Senator Gillibrand, ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Transportation Subcommittee. “From expanded deicing pads that keep flights running safely during winter storms to essential snow removal equipment and runway upgrades, this new round of FY26 AIP grants will modernize airport infrastructure in communities statewide, enhancing reliability and travel efficiency for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. I will always fight to bring home the funding that our airports need to ensure safety and operate at the highest standard.” A breakdown of awards can be found below: ### | 1 | 2026-09-15T09:50:21Z | 2026-09-15T09:52:05Z |
