Airfield safety mitigation measures

Aerostar Airport Holdings LLC received a $350,761.43 Project Grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) to conduct an environmental assessment for South Side Runway Safety Area improvements on Runway 10/28 at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The award, effective July 22, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 21, 2029, supports airfield safety mitigation measures designed to enhance operational safety at the airport facility.

This environmental assessment represents a planning and development phase project typical of FAA Airport Improvement Program funding, which prioritizes safety, infrastructure modernization, and operational excellence across the national airport system. The four-year project timeline allows for comprehensive environmental review and documentation necessary to support subsequent runway safety area construction or rehabilitation activities. As a DOT-certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise managing critical aviation infrastructure, Aerostar has received substantial prior FAA Airport Improvement Program funding totaling over $100 million for airport infrastructure projects, establishing its capacity to deliver federally-funded aviation facility improvements.
