Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson attended a ceremony to commemorate this important occasion at DFW International Airport and announced that the airport will be receiving a total of $52 million in federal funding through the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Improvement Program. Approximately $49.5 million will be committed to the refurbishment of Runway 17-Center/35-Center, DFW’s busiest arrival runway, while an additional $2.6 million will help fund a lighting upgrade for the Terminal ramp areas.
“DFW consistently remains the third busiest airport in the world based on aircraft movements. I am incredibly proud to serve as one of DFW’s key federal partners in helping to ensure that our airport has the resources it needs to be effective, while meeting the growing demands of the DFW region,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “As the most senior Texan on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I will fight to ensure that we continue to make those investments in airports like DFW so that we can stay ahead of the competition and keep America moving.”
