Overseeing FY2026 FCT grant applications
For decades, small and regional airports have relied on aging air traffic control towers built in the 1960s and 1970s, with limited federal help for upgrades. On January 21, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) quietly opened a grant window that makes up to $120 million available—six times the annual norm—at 100% federal cost, covering everything from tower reconstruction to the construction of FAA-certified remote towers. It is the final and largest funding round of a five-year program created by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
