SUMMARY:
Pensacola International Airport is eligible to receive annual grants in aid from the Federal Aviation Administration to help cover the costs of certain safety, security, or capacity projects needed for the ongoing operation and development of the facility. These grants, offered under the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program (AIP), are based on passenger enplanements, and can often cover up to 90% of project expenses.
As part of the annual budget process, Airport Staff works with FAA personnel to identify projects that qualify for AIP reimbursement, and submits pre-applications and applications to the FAA accordingly. For this year, Airport Staff identified four items for reimbursement. These were: 1) Design, Construction, and Construction Administration of a Remain-Over-Night (RON) Apron; 2) Design, Construction, and Construction Administration for Obstruction Clearing; 3) Design, construction, and Construction Administration for Taxiway A/Apron Taxilane Separation; 4) Construction and Construction Administration for a General Aviation Customs and Border Protection Facility.
In response to the application filed by Airport Staff, the FAA has offered a grant in the amount of $7,256,448.
