Statement on FAA Funding Regarding Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
ATLANTA-The City of Atlanta issued the following statement.
The City of Atlanta's airport is the busiest and most efficient on the planet, with large and complex staffing, operations and capital improvements, supported by an annual capital and operating budget of over $2 billion.
We are confident that the airport will be able to pursue alternative funding to advance these projects without impacting customers or airport service providers.
Federal funding for the airport, while important, represents less than 10%, approximately $1 billion over the next 6 years of the airport's total capital program over the same period.
The City is currently evaluating all options to ensure alignment with our long-held values, local policy and federal law and we are confident that the airport will be well positioned to receive federal funds in the future.
