The White House today unveiled an infrastructure plan that shifts an emphasis from federal investment to state, local, and private funding for major infrastructure projects, including for airports. The plan does not focus on air traffic control functions, but seeks to increase non-federal investment in and/or privatization of more U.S. airports. In addition, the plan seeks to curb the FAA’s activities involved in approval and management of certain airport projects.
