Title: Airport Improvement Program: Issues for Congress
Authors: Robert S. Kirk, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: This report discusses the Airport Improvement Program and its complement, the PFC, within the broader context of airport capital development finance. After a brief history of federal support for airport construction and improvement, the report describes AIP funding, its source of revenues, funding distribution, and the types of projects the program funds. This is followed by a review of AIP legislative and policy issues that may be considered in the course of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization debate during the 110th Congress.
