Construct taxiway; construct taxilane

On September 12, 2025, the Federal Aviation Administration awarded a $669,388.42 project grant to Spokane International Airport under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to construct taxiway and taxilane infrastructure at the airport in Sunset Hill, Washington. The project encompasses the construction of a new 1,009-foot northeast taxilane to provide airfield access to a non-exclusive hangar development area and a new 1,000-foot Taxiway F to accommodate increased based aircraft operations. These infrastructure improvements are designed to bring Spokane International Airport into conformity with current aviation standards and support regional transportation capacity.

The project, with an anticipated completion date of September 11, 2029, will deliver critical airfield infrastructure improvements that enhance operational efficiency and airport capacity for the Spokane metropolitan area. As a civilian airport infrastructure investment under the Airport Improvement Program, this grant supports the Federal Aviation Administration's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence while maintaining an adequate nationwide system of public-use airports to meet civil aeronautics needs.
