President Joe Biden last week signed a bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, enacting a law that aims to improve aviation safety and strengthen protections for passengers and airline workers.
The legislation also invests heavily in air travel infrastructure nationwide. With $20 billion destined for more than 3,300 airports across the U.S., the funding is intended to modernize aviation infrastructure, enhance workforce growth and improve safety. The infrastructure and technology upgrades will include opportunities for precast concrete manufacturers, including initiatives to help prevent runway incursions and improve safety in bad weather.
