Reconstruct terminal components

The City of Portland received a $1.55 million Project Grant award dated August 28, 2025, from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106). The grant funds Phase 2 of a terminal reconstruction project at Portland International Jetport that involves replacing passenger loading bridges at Gates 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. These aging bridge systems have reached the end of their useful life, and their replacement will improve passenger movement and airport operational efficiency.

The project is scheduled for completion by August 27, 2029, and will be performed at Portland International Jetport in Portland, Maine (04102). This award represents a continuation of the City of Portland's comprehensive, long-term approach to modernizing airport infrastructure through FAA grant funding, which has historically supported critical projects including terminal expansions, runway and taxiway rehabilitation, and equipment acquisitions across the airport facility.
