Reconstruct terminal components

The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority received a $5.69 million formula grant award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Western Pacific Region on September 19, 2025, under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses traditional AIP funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) appropriations, and COVID-19 relief programs. The grant funds the reconstruction of Terminal 2 West sidewalks and crosswalks at San Diego International Airport, which have reached the end of their useful lives. The project will be completed by September 18, 2029, and represents the FAA's investment in modernizing airport infrastructure to support safe and efficient operations for the region's aviation system.

This infrastructure project aligns with the FAA's strategic objectives of safety, operational excellence, and long-term economic benefits through transportation infrastructure investment.
