The funding will be provided to the Airport Authority through FAA grants over ten years.
This grant will help carry out various airfield upgrades such as newly redesigned taxiways and additional aircraft parking spots to lower aircraft taxiing times and greenhouse gas emissions.
The New T1 project will include the development of a modern facility for the replacement of the current Terminal 1.
This will help conclude the conversion of San Diego’s air transportation gateway.
