The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded a $4,392,708.10 project grant to the Tucson Airport Authority Inc., doing business as Ryan Airfield, to shift and reconfigure Runway 11R/29L at Tucson International Airport. This grant, funded through the FAA's Airport Improvement Program, COVID-19 Airports Programs, and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs (CFDA 20.106), will relocate 60 residences affected by airport noise exposure in Tucson, Arizona. The project aims to provide 800 feet of centerline separation between Runways 11R/29L and 11L/29R, improving safety and operational efficiency at the airport. This grant represents the tenth phase of the runway relocation initiative, which is part of the FAA's strategic goals to enhance safety, people, global leadership, and operational excellence in the national air transportation system.
